Since the weather wants to act like its winter, I'll watch for "winter" birds. There was a good movement of gulls along the lakefront with a total of seven species being seen. Duck numbers and variety were not as good. Best birds were a pair of glaucous and lesser black-backed gulls and a single Iceland gull.
