Yesterday Chuck Aid, Michael Kiessig and I spotted a Neotropic Cormorant standing among a group of Double-crested Cormorants at McKay Road ponds, directly east of the junction of McKay Rd and E 100th Ave. It was considerably smaller than the DCCOs surrounding it and had a very long tail.
-- Exact location:
At the pond just SE of this junction we spotted an adult Mew Gull, among a large group of Ring-billed Gulls with a few Herring Gulls roosting on a small sandy island.
On the same island was this large Glaucous-winged-like adult gull (pink legs, gray primary tips darker than mantle) seen in the mediocre photo below (second from right, in foreground):
Also seen at these ponds in the past week have been 2 Glaucous Gulls, Lesser Black-backed Gull and this interesting gull sp. that Chris Petrizzo requested help ID-ing a few days ago. I'd be very interested to hear the community's thoughts on it as well.
