Good day,

Lunchtime birding at the Scioto River certainly did not disappoint.  I walked 
from my office to the Broad St. Bridge and followed the Scioto trial slightly 
south.  There were hundreds of Ring-billed gulls.  The highlights were seeing 
a 1st year (first cycle) Iceland Gull/Kumlien's Gulls and Lesser Black-backed 
Gulls in the mix.

Thanks to Paul Hurtado for you spot on bird report! 

The cold wind was no match for the beautiful experience of seeing these 
wonderful birds.

Peace and all good,
Mike H.
