Things were a bit slow this morning with almost no ducks and low numbers of
gulls.  The lone highlight was an Iceland gull.

This afternoon there were thousands of gulls moving west.  Most of the birds
were ring-billed gulls, but amongst them were 200+ great black-backed gulls,
2 glaucous gulls, and a lesser black-backed gull.

The feeders were very slow as far as winter finches with only a single
common redpoll and pine siskin.
