I took the grandchildren to Sullivan's Pond today around noon. The gulls were all up when we first arrived. When some of them settled back on the ice, there were many Herring Gulls, a couple of Greater-black-backed, two Iceland , the Mew Gull and about thirty Ring-billed Gulls. Across the street the male and female Cardinals were playing chase with each other. There were Song Sparrows and House Sparrows in the brush. lOts of Am Wigeons and the usual Mallards/Blacks.We didn't see any Black-headed or the Bonaparts. Isn't it interesting how the population shifts from day to day? Cheers, Joan.
