Subject: [GeneseeBirds-L] South End of Irondequoit Bay - March 8th
Message-ID: <20130309004841.ZAXAF.105246.root@hrndva-web10-z02>

I studied the congregation of gulls at the south end of Irondequoit Bay this  
afternoon between 3:00 and 4:30 PM.  The lighting was excellent with the  
late afternoon sun.

There were probably 2,000+ gulls spread out from the southeastern corner  
near Bazil restaurant to Sutter's Marine on the western shore, resting on  
the ice and feeding in the open water.

Great Black Backed Gull:  over 150 split about evenly between full adults  
and various immature stages.   The adults were stunning in the bright  
sunshine; most appeared to be in full breeding plumage.

Glaucous Gull:  3.  There were two very white immature birds between the  
first and second cycles, with black-tipped pink bills.  One bird's black tip  
was about 25% of the length of the bill; the other's black tip was about 33%  
of the length of the bill.   The third bird was an almost-adult that looked  
to be exiting the third cycle and entering full adult-hood.  It was  
immaculately white about the head, but its bill did not have a red gonys  
spot; instead there was just a slight hint of a black ring around the bill  
about one-quarter of the way from the tip. 

Thayer's Gull: 1.  This bird was a full adult, in breeding plumage.  It was  
noticeably smaller than the Herring gulls standing near it; about midway in  
size between the Ring Billed and Herring gulls.  It had an immaculate white  
head - no streaking at all.  Its overall aura was of a much daintier bird  
than the Herrings.  Its legs were very pink in the bright sunshine.  Its  
yellow bill had a very small red gonys spot; much smaller than the spots on  
the Herring gulls' bills, and almost hard to discern if the bird did not  
have its head at the right angle to my view through the scope.

We (Wild Birds Unlimited owners) have been made aware of Salmonella in 
Siskins and Redpolls since early Jan.
Below are many articles on the subject. This is long, but worth reading 
to the end.

Here is what was said by a new Wild Birds Unlimited store owner. Please 
note his credentials under his name:

"I wanted to share some information about sick or dying Pine Siskins. I 
am new to this list as I, along with my wife Barbara and a good friend, 
Becky Uhler, are in the process of opening our new Wild Birds Unlimited 
store here in Eugene, Oregon. I have taught Ornithology in the biology 
Department of the University of Oregon for over 30 years and I also 
often respond to questions asked on a listserv of birders in Oregon 
(OBOL, Oregon Birders OnLine). Questions concerning sick Pine Siskins 
come up every couple of years. Here is my response to one person who 
felt like she must be doing something wrong and wondered if she should 
stop feeding for awhile. ---

The usual cause of sick and dying Pine Siskins is Salmonella bacteria. 
There are two primary species of the Salmonella bacteria that often 
infect birds, but these are subdivided into over 2,300 variants and to 
make matters more confusing, some of these variants are sometimes 
referred to as if they were a separate species. Thus, Salmonella 
enterica typhimurium (a common type of fowl typhoid) is often simply 
called S. typhimurium. This can be confusing when trying to find 
information online about Salmonella.

One of the two species (S. pulorum) most often infects waterfowl and 
grouse, and most frequently, domestic fowl. The other species (S. 
enterica and its man
