Franklin's Gull Ludington Wastewater Plant 11/19/2016

Franklin's Gull 

  Dave Dister found a Franklin's Gull at the Ludington Wastewater Treatment Plant today.

Hunkering down with a Ring-billed

   If it appears from the photos above that it was a chilly but tranquil day in west Michigan, below is a video that I shot at the lake shore a little later that shows the wind that we were dealing with all day.

  Note the gull flying backward from the 6 to 12 second mark.
