There were a few small groups of gulls moving in the early morning.  Around
9:00 gull numbers picked up.  I quit counting at 10:00 because I had other
things to do, but the gulls continued moving well into the afternoon.  the
only gull of note was a glaucous.  I didn't get a chance to really watch the
gulls closely in the afternoon, so there may have been more good birds.
