With just a short amount of time available to me this morning I managed to turn up a Franklin's Gull for the third consecutive morning at Winsor Dam...crazy!  The bird was not in view when I arrived around six but came in with a group of Ring billed Gulls a few minutes later and stayed for about 15 minutes before heading out to the west with the other gulls around 6:20.  Luckily Steve arrived just in time to see it but unfortunately Bob was a few minutes too late.  I assume it roosted with the other gulls a bit to the north so checking out the birds coming back to roost this evening or stopping at first light tomorrow might turn the bird up again...who knows?  The full list from the morning here:  http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S25837230
