Well I’ve been out gulling most days this week. Staying at my sister’s who lives near a favorite gull location on Lake Ray Hubbard. I’ve been looking for, and thought I’d found, variously Iceland gull (Thayers), California Gull, and today a great black backed gull. After review of bad digiscoped-through-the-fog-in-the-chill-breeze pix and videos and consultation…
Saw a post for this gulls book by Fred Shaffer III and so immediately bought myself a xmas present It’s less dense than all of the other gull books I own and has nice short description and good comparison photos of NA gulls. It doesn’t show all the variations, but for your basic gull book…
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.
With North wind coming on I decided to go watch for migrants at Granger Lake. I was not disappointed!!
Went hunting for shorebirds at Lake Buchanan this morning. Looks like lots of shorebird habitat all around the lake, but I only found 1 Killdeer, 1 Solitary Sandpiper, 1 Spotted Sandpiper, 2 flyover Upland Sandpipers and 7 Avocets. Here’s hoping more stop in next time.
