Searching for Gulls & Geese at Wastewater

Ric, I thought you might want to post on the MCNC site:  I went to the Wastewater today hoping to relocate some of the gulls and the Greater White-fronted Goose found over the weekend by Sky Haas and friends.  I found one 2nd year Glaucous Gull, one adult Iceland Gull, one adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and one adult Great Black-backed Gull (all sitting on the ice near the dump).  Couldn’t find any Thayer's Gulls.  There were thousands of Canada Geese throughout the MWS with some on the east pond, many in the air and some in the fields.  I had poor light and distant views of most of the geese and did not see the white-fronted (although it easily could have been there).
