[cayugabirds-l] Iceland Gull, Stevenson Road
I saw my first-of-the-season ICELAND GULL, a pale immature, either a first- or second-winter, on the compost piles at Stevenson Road. I did not see my hybrid black-backed (though it was there yesterday), and no other gulls of note. Myers Point was quite deserted this morning.

[cayugabirds-l] Iceland Gull, Stevenson Road
My first-of-season ICELAND GULL, a pale 1st-cycle, was on the compost piles off Stevenson Road in Dryden this morning around 11:00. It flew up when most of the gulls did and did not return to the piles again while I was there. I didn't seen any other gulls out of the ordinary. The various Lesser Black-backed Gulls that were around a few weeks ago haven't been in evidence the last two weeks. Two ravens and eight Snow Buntings were in the area as well. -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology jw...@cornell.edu -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Iceland Gull, Stevenson Road
An intermediate 1st cycle ICELAND GULL was on the compost piles at Stevenson Road this morning. Yesterday, two different observers reported a lightly colored Iceland and an Iceland on the slightly darker side of 'typical' a few minutes apart, so it remains to be seen if more than one bird is around.
