Mikey Lutmerding and I found the Franklin's Gull again this afternoon
at Schoolhouse Pond in Upper Marlboro. There was an est. 750 Laughing
Gull flock present. Mikey found the Franklin's after about a half
hour of searching. It was located in the same area that Mikey and
Hans saw the bird earlier in the week. The gull was frequenting the
west side of the pond near a stake with a duck box on it. The bird
flew out of the pond at 2:47pm. Also present were three Buffleheads
and a single coot.
