Hi all, Today at the southern part of Unit 6 on Lower Klamath tour route, there were around 30 Franklin's Gulls soaring about. If you take the main entrance and then turn right at Intersection A, they were about a half mile past where the "totem pole" owls were this winter. That is about a mile Past Intersection F.Charlotte Ann

Sorry, I didn't paste Dave Menke's message. It is below.The evening of May 1 I observed and photographed a single Harris's Sparrow near the recently cut large willow tree aong the Wingwatchers Trail. Great birding along the trail right now. Many other good looks at sparrows (Lincoln's, Savannah, Song) and Warblers (yellowthroat, yellow and yellow-rumped) along the trail. Photo attached.

Sunday, May 4: A EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE was hanging around the west side of Chiloquin. Also, a SOLITARY SANDPIPER was in the wetlands near the RR tracks at the old Chiloquin Millsite.

Other nice birds: a pair of CINNAMON TEAL at the Millsite wetlands, WILSON'S SNIPE (ditto), GRAY and DUSKY FLYCATCHERS (Spinks Park area), BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE (Millsite wetlands), COMMON YELLOWTHROAT (Millsite wetlands), and LARK SPARROW (Millsite).
