With all the wind and low water, I took a walk at the Scheeff East Point Nature Preserve on South Bass Island. Kept looking for any surprises around the gulls but none yet! More Bonaparte's Gulls than I have seen lately. Ring-billed Gulls xxx Herring Gulls xx Black-backed Gulls x Bonaparte's Gulls xx Spotted Sandpiper Double-crested Cormorants xxx-moving early in a long line this morning Yellow-rumped warblers xx Palm Warbler x White-throated sparrow x Also saw a number of Monarch butterflies in sheltered locations and a few what looked like Orange Sulphurs.
