The Franklin's Gull previously reported by Charlotte Mathena was found by
Larry Gara and me this morning at the Caesar Creek beach.  Photos can be
found at:

Details are available at my eBird posting.

We had not seen Charlotte's post when we left, so we hit the campground
first.  There was no sign of any of the rare birds reported from there in
recent days.  The most notable sighting  was 490 Mallards.  I don't think I
have ever had such an assemblage of this species at Caesar Creek.

Cheers,

Bob
