Hi All,

 

Lauren Harter, David Vander Pluym and I birded Ottawa NWR.  Among a roosting flock of Bonaparte's, Ring-billed Gulls, Common and Forster's Terns, we found a first-cycle Franklin's Gull on Crane Creek by pool 2b.  Also on 2b, we had 4 Semipalmated Plovers as well a flock of ~ 12 peeps that was too distant to get any positive id's on before it disappeared.  Also seen were 2 Dowitcher sp. (again, too distant to confirm Id) and 7 Lesser Yellowlegs on Crane Creek.  

 

The Franklin's Gull was at about 41°37'27.75"N, 83°12'42.47"W.

 

Good Birding,

Richard Aracil
