From 3:00-4:00 p.m. today, at least one male Red-breasted Merganser was 
present, as well as the Red-necked Grebes.  Numbers of Common Mergansers 
were large, but I did not hazard a guess. Gulls were Ring-bills and 
Herrings, and they were harassing the mergs.  So it's possible that if gull 
numbers increase, we could FINALLY see some of the more interesting gulls. 
It was almost a decade back when there was a gull mugging situation at 
Brighton Dam, when a Lesser Black-backed and a first year Glaucous appeared. 
So keep an eye on those gulls!
