It was very windy so not great birding conditions.

Here's the trip report with the species sighted.

Sadly no snowy owls. That's the first time I've gone to those places and not seen at least one snowy. 

Pics attached. The black-headed gull photo is by me (Adelia Honeywood) and the other photos are by Barbara Schelkle.

Thanks, Peter!
