Other stuff seen on south Texas trip.







Spent some time under a tree next to Lake Sommerville yesterday. Had 500-600 White pelicans, a smattering of gulls (Franklin’s & Ring billed) and 5 species of shorebirds For the 2024 Shorebird class: Can you ID the shorebirds and tell me why? (Feel free to review Eric’s fine table)
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!!
One of these things is not like the other…..Ok recent gulls class, what do you see here? From Hornsby earlier this week.
In reference to Gull #4, here’s a comparison between adult Herring and LBBG with a Swainson’s Hawk tossed in for mnemonic. Still need some IDs on some of the recent gull pix
Looks like a glaucous winged is in Amarillo (from NA gulls fb page).
Some of you in 2022 Gulls Class may remember that I predicted this bird would be coming to the ABA area soon
