I spoke this past Sunday to Gary Griffith. He said that about 300 
gulls were frequenting the base of the dam (a SIGNIFICANT reduction 
from pre-flood gate periods) but that the Common Gull had been seen 
there this past Saturday.  Fran and I stopped at the dam Sunday 
afternoon and noted that virtually all of the Ring-billed Gulls 
feeding there were adults.  We saw no Lesser Black-backed Gulls on 
the wall.

Keep in mind that the report of the Common Gull from Saturday is 
third hand.  If you go to the dam and actually see any out of the 
ordinary gulls, please letus know here!

Cheers,
Norm
