There was a great movement today with a lot of birds and great variety,
including 8 species of gulls.  Gulls included an adult BLACK-HEADED GULL, 1
Kumliens Iceland gull, 2 Glaucous, and 3 lesser black-backed gulls.  The
most surprising birds were a group of 3 TREE SWALLOWS observed flying
together to the west.  Other birds of note were White-winged scoter and 2
common loons.
