I spent an hour on the Summer Lake loop road today en route from Eugene to Lakeview. Nothing rare, but I was intrigued to see 8 Franklin's Gulls hanging around the gull and tern colony island. Is that now a regular breeder at Summer Lake? I am pretty sure it wasn't the last time I was here in summer, but that was maybe seven or eight years ago. I also had a nice look at a Snowy Plover, always fun. I may bird Goose Lake State Park later this evening or very early Monday, then heading to Fields via Adel and Denio. -- Alan Contreras acontrer56@xxxxxxxxx Eugene, Oregon
