On this date I was a participant in and compiler of the Barren River Lake CBC, working with Dave Roemer; we recorded 77 species while members of other parties added another 9 species to this total. Most interesting species was a Lesser Black-backed Gull identified by Dave in the large gull roost that forms each winter night on the lake. At least 10,000 Ring-billed Gulls were present along with the LBBG, which was the first of its kind to be recorded on this CBC, and perhaps on any other CBC in the UCR.
