I checked out Menasha, Little Chute and Kaukauna this afternoon, plus  
Shady Lane Rd (Rat River/Medina Jct area).  On Little Lake Butte des  
Morts among the numerous Herring Gulls were 1 Lesser Black-backed  
Gull (ad), 2 Iceland Gulls (ads), and 1 Ring-billed Gull.  By James  
Is. 25+ cormorants were present.  At Jefferson Park (Menasha) the  
following were seen:  26 Ruddy Ducks, 1 Ring-necked Duck, 2 Lesser  
Scaup, 2 Canvasbacks and 2 Buffleheads, plus the usual ducks.  On the  
ice way out was a Glaucous Gull (2nd yr).
Below the Little Chute dam the White Pelican was still present plus a  
Coot, Hooded Merganser and about 10 cormorants.  The number of geese  
was greatly reduced from a week ago;  all the gulls were Herrings.

Thousand Islands (Kaukauna) had its usual large number of gulls, all  
Herrings, plus many eagles.

Along Shady Lane Rd late this afternoon were 14 Rough-legged Hawks, 9  
Harriers, 1 Red-tailed Hawk plus briefly seen was 1 Short-eared Owl.
