Things were a lot different today with lots of Bonaparte's gulls and fewer red-breasted mergansers and ring-billed gulls. There quite a few good birds with best being a POMARINE JAEGER that passed east with the Bonaparte's gulls, and single LITTLE GULL, SABINE'S GULL, and BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE; all of which headed east with the Bonaparte's gulls.
