It was a pretty good day with
lots of variety and good numbers of waterfowl and gulls. Seventeen species of waterfowl were
seen. The only species of note were surf
and white-winged scoter. There was a
decent flight of loons with 112 counted flying high. The one red-throated loon was flying low over
the lake.
Six species of gulls were
counted with the unusual ones being Iceland and lesser black-backed. There were only a few Bonaparte’s. Most of the gulls flying overhead were
ring-billed. In the afternoon there were
still gulls flying west, but now herring gulls were the dominant species. A glaucous was seen this afternoon, but I wasn’t
counting at the time.
