All, For the 10 unlucky birders who showed up at Lake Casa Blanca State Park this afternoon after 2:30 there was no Slaty-backed Gull. We stayed until dark but it never appeared. The lake was full of boats, jet skis and paddlers so I suspect that had something to do with it. Perhaps it will be there in the morning. Sue Susan A.
