Plus I was visited by an angel!!

Well I’ve been out gulling most days this week. Staying at my sister’s who lives near a favorite gull location on Lake Ray Hubbard. I’ve been looking for, and thought I’d found, variously Iceland gull (Thayers), California Gull, and today a great black backed gull. After review of bad digiscoped-through-the-fog-in-the-chill-breeze pix and videos and consultation…
Someone just reported another gull from our “uncommon 7” list. Hoping a B3er will find one this winter!!
Who can remember 5 things that ID this bird? Western Montana
sub-species ad naseum !! Red-tailed Hawk Project
I believe virtual sparrow fest is free this year. https://www.friendsofbalcones.org/event-4122116. Sign up and see what Dr Birdy and friends can find on the refuge. Try googling sparrowfest 2021 if link above doesn’t work.
First from Lake Balmorhea, 2nd from Choke Canyon Reservoir. ID?
