I could not find any white-winged gulls but did see 2 adult Lesser Black-backs, one in the channel and one in the basin. The golf course is flooded and attracting a lot of Canada Geese and Mallard. Several American Pipits flew overhead there. There was a raft of ducks off the end of Hains Pt which had Lesser Scaup (no obvious Greaters) and many Common Mergs; I didn't have the patience to look for any other ducks with them but there might be something else there.
