Franklin's Gull, Crescent Lake, 11-12-14
ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S20536212
North lot. First seen 11-7-14 at the south end lot field. The mixed flock has been roaming various fields around Tualco Loop Road. Yesterday they were in the north parking lot field. Still couldn't find it until it flew in very near the parking lot. But then the farmer's cat showed up. At least I got some of the grass in focus :) This is a rare find around here. Note, this may or may not be the same one from 11/7. I reported the first on eBird as a Crescent Lake, this one as Tualco Loop Rd. The first was not on Tualco Loop Rd, but the second one was at Crescent Lake AND Tualco Loop Rd.
Update 2-1-2015: still being spotted in the area by others
