What a difference a day makes!! Yesterday Paul Hurtado reported (on Facebook) a large number of Gulls on the beach at Deer Creek State Park. He had "500+ Boneparte's, tens of Herrings and.gobs of Ring-billed Gulls." He also indicated there were "Flocks of Waterfowl." Today, around noon, at the same location I found 16 Boneparte's Gulls and 11 Ring-billed Gulls, along with 9 Canada Geese and 3 Killdeer. There were absolutely no birds on the water. Further north at Miller Park there were 140 Ring-billed Gulls, 1 Herring Gull and 5 Killdeer.
