It was an interesting morning.  There really was not much of a movement of
birds.  The gulls seemed to slowly build off-shore.  Some may have been
hanging out locally.  If anything the gulls were enough to attract a
parasitic jaeger.  The jaeger came out of the east and harassed the gulls a
bit before heading back to the east.  What was interesting, while I was
watching the jaeger in the scope several monarch butterflies passed by.

About the time I quit there was a nice movement of turkey vultures heading
west along the shoreline.  In all I think I counted close to 200.  There
were also a few bald eagles, but they may have been locals.
