After hosting hardly any gulls all winter, the Falls of the Ohio has more than
500 this morning. There are hardly any rocks exposed but the birds are mostly
sitting on the concrete wall out from the state park overlook and sitting
around in the basin above the dam. I counted at least 93 Herring Gulls and an
adult Thayer's Gull. The Thayer's flew off down towards the hydro dam, but I
don't doubt that it will return. It looks similar to the bird that was above
Markland Dam day before yesterday with a moderate amount of tan smudges still
on the head and neck. This bird's legs appeared *slightly* darker pink than
nearby Herrings at some angles.
Also still at least 20 Long-tailed Ducks in the basin above the Falls.
