        I was at the dam this morning for one hour with  local birder who
needed Iceland Gull. We were successful, with one adult (Kumlein's) and 2
adult Lesser Black-backs. The Peregrine was still there, and caught a Rock
Dove out over the water but lost it.
        The good news is that the gulls seem to be returning. There were
about 4,000 gulls when I left and more were coming in slowly. At least 1500
Herrings in the mix.

that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a bestseller that could
have been prevented by a good teacher."  Flannery O'Connor
