Things were a lot slower with waterfowl today.  Instead of yesterdays 2,000+
scaup, today only 9.  No bufflehead today while 600 yesterday.  There were a
lot more ring-billed and Bonaparte's gulls.  In with the Bonaparte's gulls
was a little gull.  A single red-throated loon was observed on the lake.
