Troy Shively called, asking that I post this report for him in case his message did not appear on the list. The two Franklin's gulls remain at Oldfield Beach, along with what Troy called an unusual little gull L. minutus, which was spending time on the beach before winging off to feed in deeper water. Troy said it looked markedly dark and blotchy; gull students will likely especially relish some looks at this one.
