There has been a tremendous increase in the past week in the number of gulls in the area, but only the reported uncommon species were observed in addition to Ring-billed and Herring. The level of the lakes is down and most of the gulls are spending the day on the mid-lake bars on Barkley. David L. Roemer Bowling Green, Ky. __________________________________ Yahoo!
