About 50,000 gulls at East 72nd Street this afternoon. With the power plant only on warm standby, there's almost no open water. What there is, and the nearby ice, are packed with gulls, mostly ring-billed and herring with a good sprinkling of great black-backed. Jim Heflich, Paula Lozano, Bob Finkelstein, Laura Keene, and I (mostly the other four) managed to pick out one glaucous, one Iceland, and one or two lesser black-backed from the crowd Craig Caldwell Editor, The Ohio Cardinal Ohio Ornithological Society ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
