Gene Stauffer and I saw 17 or so Franklin's Gulls, undoubtedly the ones
that Robert found, on the beach very near the building/restrooms. The coots
floated up a small inlet to the west of the dam so were not visible by the
time we left.

While searching for scoters, we found three flocks floating well offshore:
one flock appeared to hold about 25 Lesser Scaup, the others had smaller
numbers of...well...birds. Identification was impossible given the
distance, wind, and some heat shimmer over the water.
