Since the weather wants to act like its winter, I'll watch for "winter"
birds.  There was a good movement of gulls along the lakefront with a total
of seven species being seen.  Duck numbers and variety were not as good.
Best birds were a pair of glaucous and lesser black-backed gulls and a
single Iceland gull.
