The highlight was a second-winter Iceland Gull. Also around were 3 adult and a second-winter Lesser Black-backed Gulls. We also looked at the Whooper-type Swan at Schoolhouse Pond. Certainly doesn't have enough yellow for a typical Whooper, but it certainly doesn't match Bewick's. I don't know about hybrids, but if it's a Whooper, it's definitely missing some yellow. Interesting bird in any case.
