[mou] Franklin's Gull; Wacky Migration

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Non-breeding plumaged Franklin's Gull, Sherburne CR2 sewage ponds this 
evening.

Today noted two unusual shorebird reports on Wisconsin's listserv - mixed 
flock of White-rumpeds, Pectorals and others in Ashland, and a Red 
Knot/Willet at Coast Guard Impoundment in Milwaukee.  So, seeing four 
White-rumped, a single Pectoral and a Semipalmated Sandpiper next to the 
Franklin's didn't completely flip me out, but

What's with this year's migration, anyway????  Isn't it June 19th?
