There was a decent movement of birds today with good numbers of gulls and waterfowl. Red-breasted mergansers made up most of the waterfowl, but several surf and black scoters were noteworthy. Most of the gulls were ring-billed, but there were also decant numbers of herring and Bonaparte's gulls. Gulls of note were little and lesser black-backed gulls. I also had a single dark rough-legged hawk. It was flying out over the lake around 7:15. Interestingly, there were no loons or grebes today.
