Hello All, Well, if you have not seen a Bonaparte's Gull yet for the year yet, you should be seeing them after today. Today during the HBSP Waterbird Watch, although not much else was migrating, Bonaparte's Gulls were really on the move. In all a very nice total of 2,078 was counted. If you would like to see the totals and report then feel free to check out the eBird list below. -Seth Cutright Wildlife Photographer West Bend Area, Ozaukee County, WI www.birds-looking-back.posterous.com Harrington Beach SP Point, Ozaukee, US-WI Apr 2, 2012 8:30 AM - 1:30 PM Protocol: Stationary Comments: Light East winds at around 0-5mph all day.
