Spotted at a COE park on Lake Norfork, North Central Arkansas, July 23, 2018. I noticed it because of the dust cloud it was raising as it looked like it was taking a bath in the loose dirt at the campground.

I was surprised to see what I thought were gulls on the lake at this time of year. When I got the shots on a bigger screen, I don't think I've seen these birds here before. Taken August 10, 2018, at Cranfield COE Park on Lake Norfork. North Central Arkansas. They were hanging around the swimming beach.

I'm one who is guilty of not always putting in the location. I link to Flikr, and the information is under the photo. I will correct my mistake in future posts. The information you are working on is very good. I read it all, and understand the process much better. Thank you!
