I was able to find the Little Gull from the Agency Lake Resort today just
after noon. About 25-30 Bonaparte's Gull, a few Franklin's Gull plus the
Little Gull were flying about close in when I arrived and was able to get
decent bin views right away before scoping. The bird landed out 100 yards
or so after awhile and was next to a Bonaparte's for a good size comparison
like John Sullivan's photos show.
From there I went to Wood River Wetlands and walked out a couple of miles
hoping for Common Terns. Many nice birds along the way. I spotted a couple
of Caspian Terns but nothing for awhile but as I was leaving I spotted 4
Terns that flew towards me and I was able to get scope views of 4 Common
Terns.
I then went and visited Henzel Park and viewed a large raft of Eared
Grebes with a few Horneds. Lots of Long-billed dowitchers,a few American
Avocet, a couple of Black-necked Stilts and 4 Marbled Godwits north of the
boat ramp in the mudflats. In the willows there Yellow Warblers, Warbling
Vireos ,Orange-crowned Warbler and many Yellow-rumped Warblers. And I heard
a Red-shouldered Hawk from the parking lot.
Just an awesome afternoon in Klamath County! Thanks to Russ and everyone
who shared their photos, id information and ebird lists.
good birding,
frank
