Rob Lane and I checked the gull roost off the downtown Louisville waterfront 
this evening; quite similar to the last time I checked it over a week ago. 
Probably more than 1000 Ring-billed Gulls; *maybe* 75 Herring Gulls; 1 3rd year 
Lesser Black-backed Gull. One pale gull that would not move into profile 
*could* have possibly been an adult Glaucous Gull, but probably just illusion. 
Lots of divers scattered about including TWO White-winged Scoters out near the 
gulls diving at mid-river with Greater Scaup.

On the family farm today, I had at least 1 and probably 2 American Pipits 
attempting to forage along plowed roads and in the cattle pen. Also had 3 Rusty 
Blackbirds at the feeding station along with increased number of American Tree 
Sparrows (7). A Northern Harrier also paid a visit, coursing around the main 
Indian grass fields for about 15 minutes.
