I stopped by the beach at Deer Creek State Park this evening and located a
single Franklin's Gull sitting on the water amongst several Ring-bills.  The
bird looked to have brownish coverts, so I would guess this is a first
winter bird.  Also present on the beach area were 5 Forster's Terns and an
impressive roost of vultures - 50+ Turkey Vultures and 3 Black Vultures.

After the beach, I visited the wetland areas south of the reservoir that
Robert Royce has highlighted in earlier posts.  The middle wetland still
contains great shorebird habitat, and I found 10 shorebird species in the
fading light.  Highlights included Baird's, Western, and Stilt Sandpipers,
and a Long-billed Dowitcher.  See the eBird checklists below for more details.

Good Birding,
