There was ice to about a half mile out and beyond that was mostly open water. By 9:30 the open water disappeared and was replaced by ice. Most of the gulls were flying west low over the ice. There were some flying directly overhead also. The only bird of note was an Iceland gull. At my feeders today there were a half dozen siskins. In general, there was little feeder activity today.
