Things were a lot slower today with a lot fewer waterfowl moving.  The lake
was still about 95% ice covered here and it seems most of the ducks moved
yesterday.  There was a brief movement of Bonaparte's gulls that lasted not
much longer than a half hour.  An adult little gull was in amongst the
Bonaparte's.
