There was an excellent variety of ducks and gulls today.  Most moved between
7:30 and 8:30.  A little after 8:30 the wind switched and things slowed down
a bit.  There was also a brief period of light fog.  Best birds were Iceland
and lesser black-backed gulls.  Forty-one ring-necked ducks were an
excellent total for here.
