[CT Birds] Little & B-H Gull Milford

[Stacy Hanks]

Greg and others,
So glad that you were able to get out there and find Little and Black-Headed 
Gull amongst the Bonaparte's.
When I have seen the Bonies, I am walking my dogs without binos or scope. My 
schedule hasn't allowed to get out there for better looks.
Good Work Fellas! Stacy
