Was at the B pond last night, and could see a small gull chick near the edge of
the roof on the Walmart distribution center. This must be the first breeding
record for Ring-billed Gull in Dunn County. I'm not sure how the colony will
fare through the summer, however, especially if/when the weather gets hot.
When it was in the upper 80's a week or so ago the gulls were panting and
looked very uncomfortable.
Bad news about the pond: the landowner at the northeast end was in the
processing of bulldozing the shoreline there, and appeared to be constructing
what looks like a ramp to the edge of the water. Whatever is going on can't be
good--
