The Trip:
HOT summer day (in the 90s) ... went out mid-morning to Vancouver Lake to look for the Sabine's Gull which had been spotted there this morning ... no luck on the Sabine's but had numerous Bonaparte's Gulls ... also went to drive to the end of Lower River Road to check on the Osprey nest only to find the gate closed to the end of the road ...
