Hi Everyone,
Jack Delehanty called to let me know that the Rosss Gull was back in front of his house for ½ hour mid-morning. It also continues to occasionally bathe in the water near the culvert under the road just down the hill past his house. Today, I ran into someone that used to work at the Wild Center (natural history museum of the Adirondacks located in Tupper Lake) and she mentioned that they feed the Otters Trout and that they have a lot of fish eggs. I gave this information to Jack Delehanty also. It would be great if the Wild Center could donate the fish eggs for the Rosss Gull for the length of its visit. We are going into a cold snap and the rivers and open channels will likely start to freeze over (it is unusual for them to be open at all at this time of year, but our winters are rapidly warming and unpredictable ). I dont know how this may affect the Rosss Gull and its movements. Barry Blust Jack Delehanty has your eyepiece! (Ill send you his contact info.)
