A few more ducks today and a drop in gull numbers. A POMARINE JAEGER spent about a half hour harassing gulls out on the lake northeast of my house. It would chase a bit then disappear, and then reappear to chase a bit more. I'm guessing when it was not being seen it was sitting out on the lake. The lake had a bit of a chop making it hard to see sitting birds. Other birds of note were 2 long-tailed ducks, a male and female, and a glaucous gull.
