I was out doing some birding earlier and drove past the PG landfill.� I was surprised to see how easy it is view the tipping face and the area where the gulls feed and stand around from Brown Station Rd.� Its probably better or as good viewing as looking at the tipping area at Salisbury.� I parked and set up my scope on�the sidewalk - presume it is�OK parking on the shoulder but if not you can park on a side street and walk. After 30 mins of continuous scoping I had found a first year Iceland Gull and two different Lesser Black-backed Gulls amongst the several thousand birds present.� I had�a bit of trouble seeing out of my left eye after scoping for that length of time without a break but it seems to be working OK now!� Still, a longer session would probably turn up some good stuff.
