After leading the Cecil Owl Trip this morning, I couldn't help = but stop by the Landfill here in North East.I think I found a new Hobby. = Landfills. Pee uueww. Anyway after the usual Owls and the almost = courting Woodcock this morning I again felt the draw into the dump. = Richard Donham joined me, and after about 5 minutes of scanning only = about 1000 gulls we found a 1st year Iceland Gull. It was a Life Bird = for him so it was special. For some reason Richard didn't hang around = long.??? Maybe it was the cold. About 2 hours into scanning and an = additional 2000 Gulls arriving, I did get a little burned out. I headed down to the North East Town Park, The Gulls watering hole, and = found another 1st year Iceland sleeping. So it was either real fast or = another Gull. There was an additional 1500 to 2000 gulls there as well. Only found 3 Adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls and [2] 1st Year birds. I have Pictures if anyone is interested. Contact me at, seanmccandless1@comcast.net Happy Birding.
