Ah, that's much better, Rick.  Thanks for taking the time to 
look.  We are looking forward to seeing them next week.  
Hope to see you there, too.

BTW, we saw quite a few Common Black Heads at Indian 
River and were amazed by the numbers, but a friend who grew 
up in UK and knows them well says they are around more 
often than we think.  The comment made was that people 
weren't too familiar with them and didn't know what to look for.  
Without that, I would have ready to call this a bonanza year for 
Black Heads.  Yet.....I have also NOT heard of so many 
Iceland and Glaucous Gulls making an appearance, and this 
leads me to believe otherwise.

We're getting better at finding them?  There's more info about 
them readily available?  Species are increasing in the East?  
It's a bonanza year?

Any comments from those who keep track of these things?
