Bonaparte's Gulls

[Julie Van Moorhem <jvanmoo at sisna dot com>]

Pomera and I just had to get out in the rain today so we went to 
Antelope--not much there: a coyote on the causeway, some Eared Grebes, 
a juvenile Northern Shrike and a Loggerhead Shrike on the island, some 
buffalo;  the Burrowing Owls were probably snuggled down in their 
burrow--they're much smarter than we are!

We came back by Lee Kay Ponds and saw Avocets, Black-necked Stilts, a 
Caspian Tern, and about 15 Bonaparte's Gulls dancing on the water!!  I 
don't think I've ever seen them this early before.  Cormorants, 
Redheads, Common Goldeneye, etc. were present, too.  Three swallow 
species were around--Cliff, Tree and Barn.

I think spring is almost here!!
