Things were a lot different today with lots of Bonaparte's gulls and fewer
red-breasted mergansers and ring-billed gulls.  There quite a few good birds
with best being a POMARINE JAEGER that passed east with the Bonaparte's
gulls, and single LITTLE GULL, SABINE'S GULL, and BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE;
all of which headed east with the Bonaparte's gulls.
