Found a few gulls at Fox park Granger lake (thanks to a tip from a friend). It’s good to find any gulls in Centex. Species? any of you gull students?
Since I’m going to attempt to teach a few gulls next class here’s a reminder: it’s about time to be on the lookout (and listen-out) for franklin’s gulls. They migrate from prairie nesting sites To west coast of South America. Right over cen Tex. Also listen for another iconic sound of fall migration—Sandhill cranes!!
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).
Enjoyed myself at the 2024 Gull Frolic north of Chicago last weekend!! Was disappointed there were no Great Black Back Gulls present, but highlights included great looks at both thayeri and kumlieni Iceland gulls, adult and immature and several different ages of lesser Black Back. Apparently the “warm” weather means many gulls were out floating…
Spent monday and tuesday on a quick trip hoping for Gray Gull in the Rio Grande Valley. Didn’t find that gull, but always wanted to visit the famous City of Brownsville Dump !!!! Quite a sight!!!
Another question for 2022 gulls class: with these long narrow wings with black wingtips I thought I had what species? But what species is it actually?
