Stopped by Milwaukee's North Point today (north of Bradford Beach). About 100
Bonaparte's Gulls there. I think they are quite striking birds with their black
heads. Most were out in the lake a bit, but quite a few (20-30) were near the
shore.
My first photos ever of this species:

There were also two Turkey Vultures sitting on a log at North Point. Seemed
odd, as I couldn't find any carrion. Would have made a great photo, but some
passersby spooked them before I could get in position for a photo.
