At about 4.15 today I crossed over Scrivener Dam and observed about 40 silver gulls wheeling around in the spray of the overflowing spillway. I am curious why they would do that - are they playing? Are they having a flying shower? Are they checking out the water for fish? I didn’t see any of them dive into the water. Sorry about the photo - I only had my phone with me so couldn’t zoom in very well - the gulls are the tiny specks in the spray above the water.

Also 7 little black cormorants perched on a wall near the base of the dam attempting to dry their wings.
