Here is the eBird list I submitted of birds seen 
along the Lahave R to Green Bay, Lun Co. this afternoon. 

Of interest to me was the large, very light-coloured 2nd winter Glaucous Gull (observed within sight of a C Loon for size comparison). The Hybrid Mallard/Black Duck males were pursuing dark Black Duck females- a mating preference for the former perhaps? And the group of C Eiders had an odd white-mottled dark brown appearance that I think would ID them as 1st winter males.
