I was very happy this Little Gull showed up for about 20 minutes at Rollover Pass as I was watching terns. First time I’ve seen one since 1998. Unfortunately no one else was present!
Here’s a reminder for you photographers: I was at Cedar point on Lake Buchanan yesterday. I caught two distant pix of a flock of shorebirds heading south. (Love witnessing migration !!!!) Couldn’t tell much with bins, but since I had a pix I blew it up and can easily see needle like bills, distinctive profile…
In reference to Gull #4, here’s a comparison between adult Herring and LBBG with a Swainson’s Hawk tossed in for mnemonic. Still need some IDs on some of the recent gull pix
White Rock spillway in Dallas did Jeff’s Texas gull rule one better: yielding 100% ring billed. I did a little better at lake ray Hubbard this evening. Have a look at these 2 bad, distant digiscoped pix. Thoughts?
Uhhh,….I’ll fly in the front row if you don’t mind!!
