Greetings All: Yesterday evening, Jim Crites tracked 22 Franklin's Gulls to a loafing site at the small island in the middle of the playa at Maxey Park. As of this afternoon, at least 7 were still present at the island - along with 5 Ring-billed Gulls. Other highlights at the park: 2 Blue-winged Teals, 8 Lesser Scaups, 2 Black-necked Stilts, and 8 American Avocets. Anthony 'Fat Tony' Hewetson; Lubbock
