Hi,

The ice has blown in closer to shore and created a icy area that begins a
few hundred yards out and extends a mile offshore.  Over 30,000 gulls
present.  I was able to hang around for about an hour and got the 4
expected species, plus lots of Lesser Black-backeds,(at least 8 and
possibly in double digits), 2 Glaucous and an Iceland.

Lots of interesting birds to look at and lots or variation to study.

Dress warm.

Haans
