Hello, Tweeters. For anyone who's annoyed at having to look up scientific Latin names, here's a translation of Tom Benedict's posting about Bonaparte's Gulls:
"Bonaparte's Gulls are found in varying numbers throughout the Sound in fall/winter/spring. They are supposed to be common but for me they are always uncommon and a treat to see them flitting about.
Constellation Park is a wonderful location for seeing seabirds. Harlequin Ducks are regulars in the fall/winter/early spring in the rocky near shore, as well as Brant browsing the kelp beds. And the brass constellation maps in the sidewalk are a bonus."
