Folks,
This morning Steve Larson and I gulled the dead fish mud at Teller #5. A different mix of gulls from last weekend for sure. There were more adult Thayer's Gulls, a single, different, adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and no 'X' gulls that we could detect. A seemingly, near perfect, 1st cycle Iceland Gull gave us and others good looks. This bird is certainly not the same Iceland-Thiceland-thingy of last week. It was overall paler, smaller and more uniform. It's head and bill dainty, nearly Ring-billed Gull sized. I have posted some photos at the link below. We stopped by Anthem and didn't see many gulls at all. The Sheridan and NW Tollway pond is still completely frozen. Oh yeah, we went to Valmont... Holy smokes ;- )
