[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.
