3 winter adult Little Gulls were floating on the lake off Wicklow Beach among an active group of at least 80 Bonaparte’s Gulls late this morning, October 19. The bay was very busy with a couple of large feeding frenzies of Red-breasted Mergansers and Herring and Ring-billed gulls. A few Common Loons and at least 2 Horned Grebes. (This area has had Pacific Loon infrequently.) TV passage continuing, but also 3 young Bald Eagles flying west.
