The Kennebec R. at slack this morning was weird. Between the floe ice patches were expanses of open water, temporarily frozen. These would thaw later in the morning. A serene scene, devoid of loafing gulls, who all seem to be ganged up on the Weskeag Ice Roost. The landfill may be controlling the gulls with a occasional shotgun blast. Happened while I was there, and ca. 100 gulls took off and circled, then drifted slowly off to the Weskeag Roost. Hanging around the edges were 10 Bald Eagles (no Golden Eagles). 1 2nd cy. Glaucous Gull was present. About 600-700 gulls were massed on the Weskeag ice later in the morning.
