Hello everyone. After reviewing John Churchill's photo's I decided to leave work 
early to check out the Gull situation in the park.
There was about 4 to 5 thousand Gulls down there. The only thing interesting 
to report was two first year Lesser Black-backed Gulls and One Adult. It was 
very windy and cold. After scanning for about 30 minutes all of the gulls jumped 
up and went out farther away down river. It was like a white tornado.
Most of the Gulls were real close. Didn't even need a scope.
There was allot of Gulls farther out when I first got there 
too, but in a few days when things freeze up, it
becomes easier scanning because the water will stay open at 
the point in the park, and across at the Marina
All of the gulls concentrate around that open water.
