Lesser Black-backed Gull (Rollover Pass)




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!!
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…
Regretfully we were a little short on SHORE for he shorebirds class field trip to corpus over the weekend. But I think we enjoyed it none the less and ended up with around 20 shorebird species!! Highlights for me were seeing a Cassin’s Kingbird at Blucher park, more Red Knots than I’ve ever seen ~20,…
Always something new dropping into Hornsby this time of year!!! 3 new species for 2023 for me at Hornsby today. Love migration!!! And Killdeer already have a chick!! What do ya’ll think about the 4 Ibis?
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?
