BIRD STUDY GROUP
Thought BSG folks not on LABIRD would find this report of interest. Couldn't
turn the Herring Gull into a Great Black-backed Gull!

Interesting list. Surprised to find the gulls and tern but all surveys have the
potential for something unusual. Lake Buhlow was full of rooted aquatic
vegetation - hydrilla - for a good many years and ducks showed up in good
numbers and diversity under conditions like today. But, between herbicides and
grass carp, the lake is no longer bird friendly.
