Lots of Franklin's gulls reported in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky were doubtless blown by yesterday's winds. There will be more wind today. These are prairie-marsh birds and could show up well inland or along rivers as well as the Great Lakes. This time of year they are leaving to winter on the western coast of South America. They will not be the only birds of the west caught up by the weather, needless to say...
