There was not much of a movement of waterfowl today. Probably the best was
a group of 43 tundra swans heading south off the lake. There was a good
movement of gulls with the first good movement of great black-backed gulls
of the season. There were single ICELAND and GLAUCOUS GULLS. The gulls
continued to move all day long. I think there were at least 100 great
black-backed gulls through the day. I didn't see any more white winged
gulls.
The feeders were a bit slower today. The male WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL was
seen briefly, but no siskins or redpolls. The fox sparrow remains.
