Things were a little slower today, but there was still decent variety.   The
only bird of note was an adult lesser black-backed gull.  Two bald eagles
were also of interest.

Bonaparte's gulls were flying westward this afternoon.  I didn't bother
counting them, but numbers easily exceeded 300.  An adult LITTLE GULL was
seen

The feeders were also a bit slower today.  There was only one pine siskin
and 1 common redpoll.  The white-winged crossbill was not seen.
