PLEASE DON’T GIVE AWAY THE ANSWER YET!! Just answer with a “yes”, if you can ID this gull we had on our Field Trip in Galveston over the weekend.
Here’s a tip from Mary G. If you’re on the fence about gulls, Amar’s book is a good place to start. And let me know if you want me to teach the gulls class again starting in November. https://press.princeton.edu/…/9780691…/the-gull-guide…
B3 give me an ID?
Really enjoyed this beautiful and cooperative gull !! I’ve decided Glaucous and Iceland are my favorites, until I see an Ivory or Ross’s at least!!
Here’s the other nice find of the IDDGG Class FT. Seen on Saturday morning by all participants I believe. Again if you were present lets let others ID it.
Spent some time under a tree next to Lake Sommerville yesterday. Had 500-600 White pelicans, a smattering of gulls (Franklin’s & Ring billed) and 5 species of shorebirds For the 2024 Shorebird class: Can you ID the shorebirds and tell me why? (Feel free to review Eric’s fine table)
