Feb. 20, 2005 Lake Co. TN The weather was very bad but the birds could not be beat. I have posted five more photos to the Iceland Gull site. I have over 100 shots but these are the best I could get with the wind rocking my truck. I also included a shot of the adult California Gull standing beside one of the Iceland Gulls. That is probably not a photo you would expect to take anywhere in the US, but even more unlikely here in the mid-south, far from any coast. I included shots of the two dark Iceland Gulls that boosted the total to FIVE and also some shots of the pale birds taken under the same conditions to compare. The last two photos are on the second page..........
