I checked in yesterday and today.... Yesterday the parking lot was flooded and today a little less. I had rubber boots and managed only small part of the trail... you need hip waders. Not frozen - just the edges in some places. Best in your count.

Thanks much. I continue to be surprised at how different gulls can look in their “hey-breedings” - in the first pic the gull looks so much smaller and “finer”. It seems to be that finding a pure breed is becoming more and more the rarity than the norm...And thanks for confirming Glaucous - I had hoped that was true since this is my first encounter (That I am aware of...

Well that would be fun if it was - your experienced eye would pick that out... I do have a few more of the grouping and not sure if this one highlights anymore than the first. Also I have included another photo - is this a Glaucous gull? Thanks - I appreciate your time and your expertise. And to think I never used to pay any attention - a gull was a gull...

The small gull tucked in between what I assume are Herring Gulls - is that a California gull or? Thanks for the help... Untitled by Gabi Cuff, on Flickr

Lighting and distance a challenge as I watched a flock of Pine Siskins and this one with a white belly stood out - is it a Common Redpoll? Untitled by Gabi Cuff, on Flickr

Lesser Snow Goose - (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) by Gabi Cuff, on Flickr Not sure if from the same flock that you spotted Jamie... I was on the Sumas Prairie on Nov. 21 and also witnessed many hundreds of Snow geese - from far away I also first thought they were Cacklers... (noisy) and then realized Snow Geese. I have a couple of pics and they in no way represent the numbers that there were. Many 100s - and I am sorry Jamie - did not take the time to count them! A thrill to watch - they circled 6 - 8 times, ever lower and I thought they would land in the agricultural field and then for some reason, they all climbed up again and split into two groups - both heading south west - one group in front of me with mountain backdrop and the other on other side of the dyck. I had about 15 - 20 mins of pure joy and entertainment. And perhaps there is a dark morph in the bottom pic? Certainly more snow geese in my neck of the woods than I am used to seeing here.
