This morning, 20 June 2009, along with the regular Great Black-backed
and Herring Gulls, there was a Ring-billed Gull, two subadult
Bonaparte's Gulls and an adult Laughing Gull loafing on the mudflats
near the wharf at Lingan.  The only shorebirds I could see were Willets.

There are about 70 Great Cormorant and more than 110 Double-crested
Cormorant nests on the cliffs beyond the power plant this year.  My
estimate is more than 100 pairs of Black Guillemots nesting in the
jumbled rock around the cliffs as well.
