It was very slow along the lake this morning.  Numbers have been way down
since the great movement of gulls and mergansers on Monday.  If anything I
did see a few more mergansers flying this afternoon.  However no flocks of
over 50 were observed.  the only bird of note this morning was a common
loon.

My feeders were also very slow this morning with almost no birds being seen.
There were a few birds at sunset, but a very slow day.  With the stormy
weather being predicted tomorrow, the feeders and lake should be much more
active.
