Hi folks,

25 Ring-billed gulls
12  Great black-backed gulls

On land
 
Birds were singing sporadically, especially magnolia warblers.  I was in red spruce woods for about two hours between noon and 2:00 and in a pasture for about 1/2 hour.  It started raining around 1:15.  which shut down bird song activity.
