Three of us birded Buck Creek State Park Sunday morning. We found a Franklin's Gull and a Bonaparte's Gull on the beach with a few hundred Ring-billed Gulls and about 5 Herring Gulls. The lake level has been lowered a little and some mudflats have been exposed at the north end of the lake but we saw only a Lesser Yellowlegs, a Pectoral Sandpiper and lots of Killdeer today. It should be better by next week. Other sightings today include a couple Orange-crowned Warblers and a Bald Eagle.
