Things were a bit slow this morning with almost no ducks and low numbers of gulls. The lone highlight was an Iceland gull. This afternoon there were thousands of gulls moving west. Most of the birds were ring-billed gulls, but amongst them were 200+ great black-backed gulls, 2 glaucous gulls, and a lesser black-backed gull. The feeders were very slow as far as winter finches with only a single common redpoll and pine siskin.
