I was cruising the agricultural fields the other day and came across these two Franklin's Gulls. They are so elequent in breeding plumage! They were hanging out with a Ring-billed Gull, also handsome, but not quite up to snuff with the Franklin's :-)
The Killdeer are returning in big numbers also, so I included a shot of one hanging out "with" the gulls.
Other interesting arrivals last week were good numbers of both Vesper, Savannah, and Lincoln's Sparrows and lots of Say's Phoebes. I actually had a Lincoln's Sparrow in my yard yesterday (April 1st).
