I located a FRANKLIN'S GULL at around 1730, but it wasn't the same one that
Katie saw.
The bird I saw resembled a first summer plumaged gull. Not as spectacular but a
FRANKLIN'S none the less!
The westmost mudflats had 1 SCAUP and 1 WILLET. The eastmost Impounded pond
had NORTHERN SHOVELERS, GADWALL and SCAUP.
The Flats in the midsection where the FRANKLIN'S was had been had about 50-60
CASPIAN TERNS, 3 BONIES, and a few HERRING GULLS. When I returned to this area
at about 1800, the first summer FRANKLIN'S was gone and most of the CASPIANS
where airborne.
Have a great MAY DAY tomorrow! I'll be at Seminary Woods EARLY!

A FRANKLIN'S GULL with extensive pink wash on underside was at the Milwaukee
Coast Guard Impoundment today around 4pm. Gorgeous! It stayed for a few
minutes then flew up with a bunch of Caspian Terns, Common Terns and
Ring-billed Gulls and I lost track of it. I don't know which direction it
went. =\ There was a single Bonaparte's Gull in the mix as well, giving me a
nice comparison. I hope it stays in the area for someone else to get a look
at it.
