Andy Newman checked out East Fork this morning and could not locate the Sabine's.  I was there with John Price in the early afternoon and also could not relocate the gull.  Andy did report a Franklin's gull and the Laughing gull was still present.  I also observed a single eared grebe (not mixed in with the numerous horned grebes).  A raft of ruddy ducks were fun to watch as were  a couple loons.  One of the loons appeared to have a slimmer bill and has the GIS of a red-throated, but it was too far away to see any reliable field marks.  Future observers may want to take a closer look at the loons & grebes.  No sign of the greater black-backed today.

Beautiful day to be out!
