Rough estimates: 3000 Ring-billed, 2000 Herring, 10 Great Black-backed, 1
adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED, ZERO Bonaparte's Gulls. Also, 2 Double-crested
Cormorants, a smattering of usual puddle and sea ducks, decent numbers of Brant.
The gulls periodically flew and shifted position/location, presumably depending
on where the plankton was densest.
