I took several photos of Gulls today and thought I share them to you =
all. I have pretty decent photos of the following gulls: Greater =
Black-backed Gull (first winter), Iceland Gull (adult), Thayer's Gull ( =
dark juv.), Glacous Gulls ( Adult, juveniles and 2nd winter) and a =
Lesser Black-backed Gull (first winter). If you click on Knife River =
Gulls you'll see photos of a gull I initially labeled as Lesser =
Black-backed Gull before word came out fro some good sources out east =
that this gull MIGHT be a European Herring Gull but the photos that are =
not labeled as a Lesser Black-backed Gull is the real deal. I refound =
this gull at the WI landfill and a very good source in WI looked at the =
photos and agreed that it is a Lesser Black-backed Gull in first winter =
plumage.
These photos I hope will encourage birders to find and photo gulls you =
see at Blackdog and other places that gulls hang out and share them with =
others. I finally got my Gull Book yesterday and man there is a lot to =
sink in. I will be updating photos of gulls at the WI Landfill regularly =
as I spend a lot of time there.
I also would like to see the personnel at the landfill get a certificate =
or plague to award them on being so nice to birders. These workers let =
birders in and show birders where to park and are just plain nice to =
birders! I would like to see the WSO be a partner in this as well. The =
workers know me well and days they are closed they even let me in!! How =
many other landfills in Mn or WI that treat birders this way? Just an =
idea.
To se photos go to my web site and click "photos" Click the album for =
"Gulls" and "Knife River Gull". Also my blog is up and running and I =
talk about my guiding trips and birds we found. I 'll be doing this a =
lot as I am almost booked for the winter.
