This afternoon there was a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL on Ceaser Creek beach along with a Bonaparte's Gull in summer plummage. The Black-backed is a beautiful adult bird and provides a neat contrast to the others. Happy Birder Cheers, Larry Gara ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
