There was a decent movement of birds today with good numbers of gulls and
waterfowl.  Red-breasted mergansers made up most of the waterfowl, but
several surf and black scoters were noteworthy.  Most of the gulls were
ring-billed, but there were also decant numbers of herring and Bonaparte's
gulls.  Gulls of note were little and lesser black-backed gulls.  I also had
a single dark rough-legged hawk.  It was flying out over the lake around
7:15.  Interestingly, there were no loons or grebes today.
