Yesterday morning, there was a small amount of ice along the shore.  Today
the only water was very distant, although the wind broke the ice up a little
later in the day.  There were a lot of gulls moving with herring making up
the majority.  An Iceland and a lesser black-backed were of note.
Mergansers  passed by in small numbers over the ice almost constantly this
morning.  Of note were two white-winged scoters.
