With slow melting of ice along certain tributary waters of the Upper Miss in La Crosse, nearly 10k gulls have concentrated along the Black River feeding on winter kill shad and other fishes during the last week. Several different cycle lesser black-backed's have been identified, and possibly up to five Iceland's (including Kumlien's and Thayers subspecies) as well. The ice has melted and the birds are dispersing. It would be wise to keep a keen eye out for gulls moving upriver.
