As of 11:00 AM, there was at least one Little Gull still present at 
Lapidum. The water is high because of the runoff from this week's rains. 
There are 15 floodgates open at Conowingo Dam. Rt. 222 from the dam to 
Port Deposit is closed because of flooding. The gulls are more spread 
out and farther downstream than they were last week. I think there are 
fewer Bonaparte's Gulls present today than before but there are lots of 
other gulls present, mostly Ringed-bills. Last week, about the only 
gulls present were the Bonaparte's. If you come, bring a scope and dress 
warmly - it's cold by the water.

And he wrapped his wings round him and he fell like a stone
And the big salmon fought but the talons held true
And he shuddered as the world turned from silver to blue
