Hi all,

This afternoon at 4 there was a nice assortment of gulls near the
easternmost set of pilings

1st winter Bonaparte's gull  = 1

several Mews  (adults)

several Ring-billeds (1 first year, others adults)

California gull  = 68  ( adults)

Glaucous-winged gull = 8 (all but one adults)

several "Olympic" gulls

Local birders know of this area  but if your just passing through and have
just a bit of time ....this location deserves continued close observation
(it's already produced Arctic and Common terns) within the last 2 months.

Also, there was a single Clark's grebe keeping company with 9 Westerns.

good birding,
Tom
