Things were a little slower today, but there was still decent variety. The only bird of note was an adult lesser black-backed gull. Two bald eagles were also of interest. Bonaparte's gulls were flying westward this afternoon. I didn't bother counting them, but numbers easily exceeded 300. An adult LITTLE GULL was seen The feeders were also a bit slower today. There was only one pine siskin and 1 common redpoll. The white-winged crossbill was not seen.
