All within a 15-mile radius, including Presque Isle State Park. Laughing Gull (3rd regional record). An impressive Pennsylvania Big Day record, especially considering the relatively small area covered ( 138 species were recorded within the 3,200 acres of Presque Isle alone, still five more than last year's state record).
