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.
