Much less windy than recent days, an uptick in activity brought us our most
species-rich outing in more than a week. Gulls were the story early.
Ring-billed, Herring and Bonaparte's gulls dominated the viewing area upon
arrival, either floating atop the water, dotting the distant sky or moving
north in numbers. Not to be outdone, Caspian Terns (42) made their presence
felt, (noisily) pushing up the shoreline in two and threes all morning
long. Gadwall (53) were surprisingly abundant. And as for other dabblers
and divers, Ring-necked Duck (18), Lesser Scaup (39) and American Black
Duck (3) are beginning to be seen with increasing regularity as numbers of
Common Goldeneye (3), Bufflehead (4), Greater Scaup (148) and Long-tailed
Duck (73) diminish. Common Loon (24) and Horned Grebe (34) movement
continues apace as well.
