Hundreds (if not thousands) of gulls arrive each evening to sleep communally in the center of Lake Loveland. They stage on the north shore sandbar until well after sunset. I arrived at North Lake Park today after sundown. A large flock of Bonaparte's Gulls were resting on the water. I counted 110, which was flagged in eBird. Onshore, the flock was mostly California and Ring-billed Gulls with scattered Herring Gulls. I also counted 8 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (6 adults, 1 second-cycle and 1 first cycle). These are the first immature LBBG I've seen this fall.
