There was quite a bit of activity on the lake this morning. There was a constant flow of gulls to the west. Of note was a Franklin's gull. It passed by alone. There was a nice movement of Bonaparte's early, but the Franklin's was not associated with them. Also of note were lesser black-backed gull and surf scoter. There was a nice variety of waterfowl. All the dabblers were in one flock and the divers were scattered through the morning.
