There was not much of a movement of waterfowl today.  Probably the best was
a group of 43 tundra swans heading south off the lake.  There was a good
movement of gulls with the first good movement of great black-backed  gulls
of the season.  There were single ICELAND and GLAUCOUS GULLS.  The gulls
continued to move all day long.  I think there were at least 100 great
black-backed gulls through the day.  I didn't see any more white winged
gulls.

The feeders were a bit slower today.  The male WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL was
seen briefly, but no siskins or redpolls.  The fox sparrow remains.
