I checked the Neenah area this morning for gulls;  also Menasha for gulls and 
ducks.  Between the Neenah library and Riverside Park there were, as has been 
usual for some time, hundreds of gulls.  All were Herrings except for a first 
yr Iceland and Thayer's, plus an adult Great Black-backed.  The 16 cormorants 
are still surviving at Jones Island in Menasha, along with a female Hooded 
Merganser.  On the south end of Little Lake Butte des Morts, 8 Gadwalls 
continue to winter.  However most impressive were the 1500 Common Mergansers 
that were seen, mainly on this lake, but also some on Lake Winnebago off 
Jefferson Park.  Off this park also were 1 Ring-necked Duck, 2 Lesser Scaup and 
10 Redheads, plus about 150 Bald Eagles.
