The larid flycatching is due to the annual emergence of Anax dragonflies across 
southern Wisconsin- here's the radar of this large and dense swarm from this 
afternoon-

Note how the NW wind has pushed some dragonflies way out into the Lake.

Subject: [wisb] Gulls flycatching

On my way home from work this eve there were 30+ Ring-billed Gulls
flying and catching insects over the west beltline near WestTowne
Mall.
Fun to watch, like they are playing some game. No Nighthawks. Darn!

Go birding, be happy!
