Cleveland gulling update Sunday 1/15 Once again the diversity and numbers of gulls off Wendy Park were great. While overall numbers have dropped to around 9 - 11,000 birds, large gulls make up at least 3 - 4,000 of that total. Highlights included at least 2 Thayer's Gulls (2 first cycles), at least one Glaucous (adult) and at least 4 Iceland Gulls (2 adults, 2 first cycles). Great Black-backed numbers are good, and Lesser Black-backed Gulls were present in just under double-digits. Waterfowl abound in the area with 16 species recorded today with highlights of Surf Scoter and Long-tailed Duck.
