I did not see Jim Pawlicki's message yesterday stating that there are 2 Franklin's Gulls at Squaw Island. Both birds were present earlier at the south end of the island (i.e. the foot of Ferry St). One appeared to be in a more advanced state of molting that the other (1 was darker with a more intact hood, the other bird had a white crown). Rick Bacher, Sue Barth, Tom Kerr and Joe Mitchell were also present.
I did not see a Kittiwake or Little Gull (Rick had a Kittiwake at some point - both should be in the mix).
