Arrived about 1:30 pm. The wind hadn't really kicked in yet. There were lots of gulls close in the outflow of the power plant. Jillions on the "pack ice" out farther. Here's the quick tally.



Herring gull

Ring Bill Gull

Bonaparte's  70-100

Lesser Black Backed   2juv. 2 ad.

Greater Black Backed  40+

Iceland   2 juv

Glaucous  several 1st & 2nd yr. 

Thayer's 1 adult



Common Mergansers were more plentiful

One real ratty Shoveler

Pied billed grebes

Lesser Scaup

Am. Goldeneye



By 3 o' clock the wind was brutal. I think by midweek next week the ice pack will really help concentrate these guys.
