An Early Bonaparte's Gull near Martins Creek ~ September 25, 2023

I checked out the area near the Martins Creek PPL power plant and found 20 Green-winged Teal in the fly-ash pond, but the real surprise was when an immature Bonaparte's Gull flew in, circled the pond a couple times, and then headed off towards the west. I got some fairly good photos of it as it flew by.

I believe this bird represents a record early date for the Lehigh Valley area.
