Folks,

I suspect Gail and Barry would be better at describing the birds at Pax
Vistors Center, but indeed we did find 2 Icelands and 3 Glaucous Gulls.  At
one point when a Bald Eagle was disturbing the gulls, many took off leaving
one particular Glaucous on the ice surrounded by a few imm. Herrings &tc.
Talk about a naked eye bird!  This gull stood out like an ivory beacon easily
visible to all.  Great sight!   Also, 2 Lesser Black-backs were spotted
hanging around the "ol' watering hole" making for a nice 6 gull day at one
warm location!

I am waiting for the Ross' now.
