Hi everyone,

I checked Schoolhouse and Depot Ponds today and yesterday for the Black-headed Gull with no luck. Today there was one Ring-billed Gull flying over at Depot Pond and about 50 at Schoolhouse Pond. Very low numbers. Yesterday, there were a lot more gulls both at Depot and Schoolhouse (around 300 at each), but nothing unusual, only Ring-billeds and Herrings.

Also absent was Fred's interesting ringless Ring-billed Gull.

Both days I was at the ponds around 1-3pm, typically the best time of the day to find gulls on the ice.
