In light of Mark's Glaucous Gull, I found this gull on the Texas City Dike last Thursday, so when I saw his post and pictures, it reminded me to go back and take a look at the images again. It looks a lot like Mark's gull at Quintana. http://www.pbase.com/image/148611486 Michael Lindsey Pearland -----Original Message----- From: texbirds-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:texbirds-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of MBB22222@xxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2013 9:34 AM To: texbirds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [texbirds] Glaucous Gull on Quintana-Bryan beach 02-02-13 I spent the whole day yesterday (from sunrise to sunset) on Quintana beaches. Main attraction - Glaucous Gull. _http://www.pbase.com/mbb/image/148594419_ (http://www.pbase.com/mbb/image/148594419) _http://www.pbase.com/mbb/image/148594400_ (http://www.pbase.com/mbb/image/148594400) _http://www.pbase.com/mbb/image/148594425_ (http://www.pbase.com/mbb/image/148594425) _http://www.pbase.com/mbb/image/148594402_ (http://www.pbase.com/mbb/image/148594402) More photos: _http://www.pbase.com/mbb/glaucous_gull__upper_texas_coast__february_2_2013_ (http://www.pbase.com/mbb/glaucous_gull__upper_texas_coast__february_2_2013) Not sure how many people found/saw it yesterday (there were a few people passing me in cars on the beach with binoculars) but about noon I met Joe Fisher approaching the gull from one side when I came from the other direction so all three of us spent some time together. Glaucous was posing. It was associated with Herrings - they all kept together and were moving along both beaches. Disappeared afternoon.
