There was an excellent movement of birds this morning and they were still
moving when I quit due to the snow making things tough to see.  Of special
note was a very late immature Sabine's gull heading west with a group of
Bonaparte's gulls.  The wing pattern really stood out.  It passed by around
8:50.  Also of note were two adult little gulls.
