Tommie,
If anything is worth a long drive, it's a Ross's or Ivory Gull! If I hadn't
seen the bird south of Atlanta a few years ago (still hurts thinking about
Jeff's TN Ivory I missed...), I would have been in Quincy that 2nd day it was
reported. Hoping for a Ross's that close again one of these days; I was out of
the country when the cooperative bird was in Iowa a couple of years ago.
If you do go, take care and good luck!

A birding friend from St. Louis
sent us
information about an Ivory Gull being seen on the
Mississippi River near Quincy,
Illinois. Just thought I’d post in case some
Tennessee birder wanted to
make a drive that far to see a lifer. Information is
on the Illinois RBA
about where it is being seen today. We’ve debated
all afternoon about
driving up tomorrow as we have never seen this beautiful
bird and our hearts say
“go” but our old bodies say “another foolish idea”
for two people in their
mid-70’s. Don’t know which will win out
tonight.
