Throughout this morning and into the afternoon, there have been about 60
Bonaparte's Gulls feeding, preening and resting at the Winton Oxidation
Ponds between Ely and Winton.  While observing their behavior and
vocalizations, Richard Gibson and I also saw:

lesser and greater yellowlegs
spotted sandpipers
killdeer
American wigeon
blue-winged teal
common goldeneyes
broad-winged hawk
peregrine falcon
belted kingfisher
turkey vultures
Nashville warbler
