Pink legs should make them Bonaparte's. Black-headed would really be unusua=

Oops -  I was too hasty to jump to conclusions - on blowing up the photos s=
till on my camera,  I realised that on those gulls the legs are pinkish red=
 and the patten of black on the head makes them Black - headed in breeding =
plumage,  not Laughing. I have corrected my E Bird report.

Hi Diana,

My daughter saw a small flock of sandpipers fly past at Evangeline Beach on=
 July 10, the first such report I have had this summer.

I wonder if the waves during "Arthur" a week ago have had any impact on the=
 "shrimp and worms" in the mud flats. Any areas with an east, through south=
, to west exposure would especially have seen lots of turbulence.

Roy
