Although hundreds of first-summer (non-breeding) immature Bonaparte's
Gulls were present at Point Pelee all summer, I found the first migrant
adults of fall migration late yesterday (July 10) along with Little
Gulls:

Bonaparte's Gull:  14 adults (very early for Point Pelee)

Little Gull:  two adults, pair? (record early for Point Pelee by 4 days).

All birds were on Lake Erie, just north of the entrance to Point Pelee
National Park.
