A few more ducks today and a drop in gull numbers.  A POMARINE JAEGER spent
about a half hour harassing gulls out on the lake northeast of my house.  It
would chase a bit then disappear, and then reappear to chase a bit more.
I'm guessing when it was not being seen it was sitting out on the lake.  The
lake had a bit of a chop making it hard to see sitting birds.  Other birds
of note were 2 long-tailed ducks, a male and female, and a glaucous gull.
