[TN-Bird] Re: [Bristol-Birds] Franklin's Gull at Dutch Bottoms

I read Rick's posting just a few minutes after he sent it, arranged to get 
off work a little early and ran right down to Dutch Bottoms.  I found the 
concentration of gulls just before the silos and looked for something 
different.  
First I found a LAUGHING GULL and 2 HERRING GULLS among the RING-BILLED GULLS.  
A shotgun blast heard from across the lake then sent that group of gulls 
flying off.  They didn't return while I was there.  A second small group of 
gulls 
was a little further upstream.  It held the FRANKLIN'S GULL and 2 BONAPARTE'S 
GULLS.  There were very many birds all around the area, I didn't have time 
before dark to scan everything I wanted to.  I did find 3 GREEN-WINGED TEAL , a 
DUNLIN, and a FORSTER'S TERN among all the KILDEER, MALLARDS, DOUBLE-CRESTED 
CORMORANTS, GREAT EGRETS, and GREAT BLUE HERONS.
