the glaucous gull from texas city dike was joined by a second this afternoon, both were on the beach with a third gull, very large with solid black bill, looks like great black backed but too much brown in feathering, and I dont believe large enough, same size as glaucous, dark eye line, some streaking, will post photo later, larger than herring, but might just be a herring on steroids! Got flight shots, unfortunately was photographing glaucous when I saw it so only had my camera, no field glasses...will have to look at photo tonight when I get home...got good photos of both glaucous gulls (texas life bird for me) Tripp Davenport Uvalde Texas Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
