Hearing tell of a Short-billed Gull at White Rock Lake, Lance and I conducted a stake-out this morning for a couple of hours. No luck on Shorty, but always a pleasure to study gulls — especially since I added two first of season gulls to my season list. (I forgot my camera in Austin so…
After the gull I drove 2 hours north from Amarillo (who knew there were still 2 hours of Texas north of Amarillo?) for the reported Pine Grosbeak — new for my Texas list. Spent about 20 minutes photographing this lovely bird.
Success!! Exactly As dreamed!!
Here’s a gull we found towards the end of our time at Texas City Dike on Gulls FT. Who can ID it? (Please stay mum if you were present for the sighting, at least till it is IDed).
Rather than work on Empid presentations, I chased the Garganey today. Here’s my proof of purchase seal.
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!!
