There were also over 50 Herring Gulls and 13 Great Black-backed Gulls of various ages, as well as a few adult Ring-bills. The birds were mostly preening and resting. I spotted 3 Laughing Gulls way out over the river. After a while, the Kelpster swam with some other gulls before returning to the post. Other birds seen included at least a half dozen Long-tailed Ducks, some of whom were calling. S. Baron Fairfax, Va. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
