Michael Autin found a glaucous gull (probable first-year bird) at the Falls
on the rocks across from the Interpretive Center about 2:30 this afternoon.
Several of us joined Michael to see the bird, which was still there when we
left about 5:30 tonight. I (Ben) took several photographs.
About 50 ring-billed gulls were in the area at the beginning. Gulls began
streaming in from the west around dusk, and I would estimate there were
easily a thousand gulls there when we left, almost all ringers with a few
herring gulls mixed in.
Other interesting birds seen at the Falls:
* Common loon
* Am. wigeon
* Gadwall
* Horned grebe and several pied-billed grebes.
* Michael also had a surf scoter.
