Hi all,

   

   Sorry for the delay.  Ran out of time to finish Sun
night, as I got back from family's party after a long
weekend trip and wanted to get to bed. Again for Mon
night as we watch Lord of the Rings on DVD, cool show!
   Strange day on Sat as many hundreds of ducks
seeking shelter on Lake Knapp from dozens of hunters
all around. One hunter rode his boat into the Marshy
Creek raft of ducks and herd them into close range
cold blood shooting.  It looks illegial to me for
anyone herd ducks into the wrath of hunters at closeup
and that's cheating for shooting up close. 
   On my way out from Cabin Creek Rd at intersection
w/ Perrys Corner rd, were 316 Canda Geese and 1
CACKLING "RICHARDSON'S" GOOSE in field on R. Farther
down on Perrys Corner Rd, on R 681 Canada Geese and 74
Ring-billed Gulls.  
    Dorchester Co was chock full of gulls in every
fields from Cambridge to Vienna due to rain and the
birth of juicy bugs in the field.  One field holds an
interesting gull. On Rt 50S outside of Cambridge just
past Bucktown Rd on R were 366 Ring-billed Gulls, 2 
Herring Gulls and one beautiful closeup of "darker
plumage" juv. ICELAND Gull close to road. Looks
similar to Thayers Gull but more paler than Thayers,
streaking on back (Thayers has neatly marked on back),
shorter bill. 

The list was separate as the list wss too long to fit
in one message.  Full list on next email.
