Troy Shively called to report a Franklin's gull and a buff-breasted sandpiper at Old Field Beach at Indian Lake SP in Logan County. There's no way to be sure, but this gull shows every sign of being the same one detected there continually over the past sixteen days. A stay this long during its migration to the west coast of South America is quite unusual, as was what seems to have been a 14-day stay by a young Sabine's gull, headed pretty much the same way, up the road at the Lake St Marys fish hatchery.
