Hey,

There was a fresh juvenile Little Gull on the Port Franks Beach this morning, with a cluster of gulls and terns. Off-shore, a dark juvenile Parasitic Jaeger accompanied a substantial (for this location this fall) near-shore movement of 185 Common Tern, with about 45 Bonaparte's in the mix, including numerous birds still in juv. plumage.

More details here....

To reach Port Franks Beach - from Hwy 21 take Outer Drive to Dolway to Raeburn to the parking lot....

Cheers,  

James Holdsworth
