The weather today seemed conducive to birds moving on the lake. This winter and early spring has been very slow. Waterfowl numbers have been low here since January. Today wasn't bad, but waterfowl numbers were still not that high, although merganser numbers were up from what it's been. Gull numbers were decent and included glaucous and lesser black-backed gulls. The gulls were flying overhead heading west.
