Varied Thrush are visiting along with Chickadees and Oregon Junco's. Nearly one week before the snow came there were flocks and flocks of Gulls moving West of North Yelm. The Gull flock held about 50+ in each days passing West where one flock a day were spotted for 4 days.

Gulls in V formation

Saw a flock of ? what looked like white (Galucous gulls) flying North of Yelm yesterday afternoon, Jan. 5, 2010  AT  4:00 pm.  Rarely do I see gulls around or near Yelm.  I have never seen gulls  inside of the city of Yelm, unlike many larger cities. This flock of about 25  birds was flying in V formation very quietly.  The nearest (w/in 10 miles) waterbodies are N=LEWIS LAKE and the  N=NISQUALLY RIVER.  I have not seen a flock of gulls fly in V formation before.
