It was another interesting day.  There were a small increase in gull numbers
with over 300 Bonaparte's gulls.  An adult LITTLE GULL was seen with them.
A RED-THROATED LOON hung around about 100 yards offshore for about a half
hour.  It was doing a lot of diving.

Like elsewhere along the lake, I had a ton of siskins moving today.
Movement was to the west.  There were also a lot of yellow-rumped warblers,
kinglets, and a few black-capped chickadees moving.
