Parasitic Jaeger


An apparent adult Kelp Gull found at Brownsville landfill this morning. Landfill access as below.
Here’s a pix I’m diggin as I prep for Class 2 of Gulls Class!! (I feel real bad for those of you who are missing the fun of studying gulls!!)
Some of you in 2022 Gulls Class may remember that I predicted this bird would be coming to the ABA area soon
“The new phone book’s here!!! The new phone book’s here!!!” (10 points if you get the quote without a reference)
I couldn’t sit still with so many rare birds present in Texas — especially when one was a first state record Gull !!!! So I opted for Amarillo (rather than RGV at the moment). I put in 8 hours of stakeout time for the Yellow-footed Gull in Amarillo yesterday and today and it paid off…
Looks like a glaucous winged is in Amarillo (from NA gulls fb page).
