This morning I checked McKinley Marina, and found what I at first thought
was a Thayer's Gull among the Herrings and Ringed-bills. But the wingtip
pattern bothered me, and after sharing photos on my Facebook page it appears
to be a Kumlien's Iceland Gull with darker wingtips. Very cool!
This afternoon I found a definite Thayer's Gull at South Shore Yacht Club,
harassing the Herrings and RBs at the small beach by the launch where a kid
was tossing out bread.
The Snowy Owl was perched on a dirt hill at the Coast Guard Impoundment,
giving terrific full-length views to several excited birders. I also had an
American Kestrel at the CGI.
