The Crazy Ivan Maneuver!! (anybody get the reference?)

Last Glaucous pix for a bit!! I usually think of the Herring as a BIG GULL!! But I was impressed with the Glaucous next to the Herrings and Laughings!!
Gull #6 (same date location). I’m tossing in an easy Gull #6 Adult Ring bill in basic plumage – note streaks on neck.
Some of you in 2022 Gulls Class may remember that I predicted this bird would be coming to the ABA area soon
Gull #7 (same date location). Gull #7 Forster’s tern (I know – a mean trick as I called it “Gull #7”). Orangey legs, very pointed wing, black ear/eye patch, but back of head is not black (as in Common Tern at this time of year).
I had a great time on the 29th communing with a visiting celebrity in Corpus Christi!! If you haven’t heard, this is a Kelp Gull born about 1 year ago in the southern hemisphere (South America most likely). Very impressive bill (compared to Herring in pic).
Oh happy days!!! It’s time to pre-order “The Gull Guide” by gull aficionado Amar Ayash!!! I got mine coming in late October just in time for “I Don’t Do Gulls Gulls Class”!!! Pretty sure ya’ll don’t have enough bird books!!!
