[Birdtalk] Lee Kay Ponds 1/3

[FERGUS, Rob]

I only had a short time to check out Lee Kay Ponds this afternoon from 4:30-5:00pm.  When I got there, about 2000 gulls were on the ice and in the small area of open water.  Before I could scan the whole flock a Red-tailed Hawk flushed them all and only about half of the birds returned.  While I didn't see all the birds I could have hoped for, I did see seven gull species:

Western Gull-1 adult
Lesser Black-backed Gull-1 2nd winter bird
Glaucous-winged Gull-1 1st winter bird
Thayer's Gull-1 1st winter bird
Herring Gull-8 various ages
Ring-billed Gull-150
California Gull-1200
