[Mich-listers] Franklin' Gull, Cattle Egrets Sterling S.P., Monroe Co.

[Karl Overman]

With the incursion of Franklin's Gulls reported in the state  
yesterday, I went looking for them  in SE Michigan.  I found one at  
Sterling State Park in Monroe County. That bird was at the south end  
of the large lagoon west of the pavilion, resting with a large group  
of Ring-billed Gulls.  The two Cattle Egrets remain in Sterling State  
Park.  I had them a couple feet from my car at the entrance to the  
campground.

Walt Pawloski and I found another Franklin's Gull in Wayne County  
(barely) at the mouth of the Huron River at the small park on  
W.Jefferson.  Across the road, on the flats along Harbin Road, there  
were approximately 235 Dunlin today.
