This afternoon I went to Little Lake from 4 – 4:30 pm and had 3 adult Lesser Black-backed and 1 adult Iceland Gull among the 100 ring-billed and 400 herring gulls present. Also at my feeder today I had 5 White-throated Sparrows (continuing birds for the past couple weeks) and the Carolina Wren has reappeared after an absence of about a month and a half. Luke Berg
