It was another interesting day. There were a small increase in gull numbers with over 300 Bonaparte's gulls. An adult LITTLE GULL was seen with them. A RED-THROATED LOON hung around about 100 yards offshore for about a half hour. It was doing a lot of diving. Like elsewhere along the lake, I had a ton of siskins moving today. Movement was to the west. There were also a lot of yellow-rumped warblers, kinglets, and a few black-capped chickadees moving.
