There was a pretty decent movement of birds today. Winds were strong and
some birds were struggling to fly. Bonaparte's gulls were pretty hard to
look though. They were heading east and were swirling all around rather
than flying directly. One little gull was seen amongst them. There could
have been more, but looking through them was hard. Other good birds today
were a Pomarine jaeger. It caused a bit of commotion with the Bonaparte's
gulls. Other good birds were surf and black scoters and blue-winged teal.
I don't see too many blue-winged teal on the open lake
