Sighting

On 28 May, an American Bittern and 3 Cattle Egrets were at Klondike Lake and 4 Franklin Gulls, all adults, were at Klondike Lake (2 birds) and Tinemaha Reservoir (2 birds). They were smaller than adjacent Ring-billed and California Gulls and had a black head with dark red bill, and sported a white bracelet medial to the black primaries.
