Things were the opposite of yesterday, busy early and quieting down fast
after 9:00.  There were a lot more gulls today.  Surprisingly no
Bonaparte's.  I did find a single 1st cycle Franklin's Gull.  A red
phalarope seemed to hang around for some time.  It kept flying around and
landing not far from shore.  It probably was in the area for about 10
minutes.
