I first saw Bonaparte's gulls about 10 years ago. We had a late spring snow storm and the next morning there was a flock of these little gulls in the narrows in front of camp.
That summer a few nested in Pipestone Bay and have continued to return each year.
This year the birds, which act more like terns than gulls, are being seen right in the narrows.
They seem to be catching minnows along the shoreline, all the while making a distinctive raspy call. The photo above was taken along the islands going into Trout Bay.
