[wisb] Milwaukee: Purple Sandpipers pair, Gadwall, unknown Gull

I realize the purple sandpipers frequenting the area just north of Bradford 
Beach have received a lot of attention, but, I thought I'd share a series of 
photos I took, some including both together.  My first two visits simply didn't 
have very good light.  But, On Thursday, along with several others, I was able 
to get some nice photos:
Unknown Gull.  Can anybody identify?
