The 2 Franklin's Gulls that Bill Stanley found earlier this morning (yesterday) were still there at 4pm on the 11th. Many people were on the beach and swimming (in October;-) They did not seem to mind, as they stayed inside the flock of RBGs. I took some pictures of them they are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/53481458@N00/sets/72157607939741530/ Thank you for posting Bill, thinking back, I think these would be a life bird.
