Today was a warm day for us.  Not much sunshine but the temperature was up in the 40's.  So on a short trip out today, I was amazed to see the seagulls sitting on the ice in the Mystic River.  I also notice in the past that the swans also sit on the ice too.  I would think that they would go and hide in the reeds along the shore line but they don't.  The seagulls come in from the ocean which is about 8 miles from where I live.  In CA the seagulls go in land when a storm is coming.  I don't know if that is true here on the east coast or not.
