Today overall was slower than yesterday with less numbers, but a few more
species.  the best was a POMARINE JAEGER that blasted through the gulls that
were sitting on the lake and put on quite a show.  I had a bird yesterday
that went out of sight too quick that may have been this same bird.  It has
a white belly.  Also of note were two long-tailed ducks, a single male and
female.
