Over the marsh area stretching into surrounding fields
of Hog Bay in Franklin, some friends and I (separately) could not help but notice, a 200+ mixed gull flock, hawking. I was not equipped for birding. My friends were in a slightly different location. I don't know if they had birding equipment. Their best guess was a mixed flock of possibly Bonaparte's BOGU, Herring HERG and Great Black-backed GBBG with all species in various stages of maturity. I thought that I was seeing predominantly Black-legged Kittiwakes BLKI based on flight pattern and vocalizations. I'm certain I heard a GBBG or two as they flew over my car. Apparently I saw the end of the hour or so that they were doing this so wasn't seeing as dense flock of birds as my friends.
Ideas?
