The lake again was alive with birds. The big question for me was where were
the Bonaparte's gulls today. Although good numbers were reported most other
places, I had only 6. Best birds were a flock of 9 BRANT that were seen
flying east. I also had 3 black scoters. There were a lot of ring-billed
gulls today and quite a few herring gulls. Canvasback and scaup were
heading east. Most everything else was heading west.
