Mark:
Saw my first Franklin Gulls on Sunday at OBWMA. Still waiting on the Lesser Ground Cuckoo.

>>> Mark Stackhouse <westwings@sisna.com> 04/11/05 4:07 PM >>> Yesterday afternoon we were in the edge of the foothills overlooking
the coastal plain of Chiapas, Mexico, watching Yellow-naped and White-fronted Parrots, and Orange-fronted and Orange-chinned Parakeets make their roosting flights into the hills. We were still reveling in a stunning Turquoise-browed Motmot we had seen shortly before, and enjoying a serenade of Lesser Ground-Cuckoo, Gray-crowned Yellowthroat, and the squabbling of a pair of Social Flycatchers chasing a White-throated Magpie-Jay, when a large flock of birds passed high overhead, heading north. It was a flock of about 200 Franklin's Gulls. Has anyone seen a Franklin's in Utah yet this year? They're coming . . . . I think I'll be following soon. See you when I get there.
