Franklin's Gulls at Lake Manawa, Pottawattamie County

[Loren Padelford]

Birders,

This evening, between 6 and 7 PM, we witnessed the largest concentration of Franklin’s Gulls that we have ever seen.  There was no way to estimate the numbers but it was spectacular.  We left at 7 PM because it was getting too dark to see the birds but they were still coming in from the north and swirling in great clouds over the lake.
