Ventured north to Lake Morey and Bradford RR Depo.

Most birds were at the north end.

3 Herring Gulls..mixed plumages.

8 Ring-bills.

2 Bonaparte’s Gulls. Spent about 30 minutes watching them. Small. Flew like a tern/ swallow. Watched them feeding: dabbing at the water (fun).

                                1 was in winter plum.  The other (watched a lot) was very dark under the wings w/ trailing white edges. All other characteristics line up with

the field guides.  At one point the BoGu and the RbGu were right next to each other.  Nice reference.
