This morning at 9:30 there was a LAUGHING GULL in breeding plummage on the Caesar Creek beach along with the Bonaparte's Gull still in winter plummage. The Laughing Gull is one beautiful bird and I hope it will stick around a while. The spillway at Cowan Lake had ten Spotted Sandpipers and four Mallards. Great Weather Cheers, Larry Gara, Wilmington ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
