Wow! That’s a lot of green space. How lovely, to have such wildlife habitat so close to your flats!

I’ve got a thread about seagulls over in G.Q. right now ([Seagulls: different species at Great Lakes vs. Atlantic coast?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seagulls-different-species-at-great-lakes-vs-atlantic-coast/855741)) that you may find to be of interest.

What other birds has your wife identified? I’m sure you must get house sparrows - those are pretty ubiquitous. (And noisy! Chirp CHIRP!!)

Do pigeons in your city show interesting colors? Brown or brown-and-white or even all-white variants? I love seeing those pop up.
