Hi all. There are Lots of gulls hanging out at the only open water hole near the landfill which is at the North East Town Park. Actually the open water is right next to the Naughty Goose but safer viewing in the park. There are no trespassing issues there.
Anyway, I was able to relocate the Iceland Gull that Chris Starling noted the other day. Here my photographs to it. You can see, he had a bit of a primary problem on one wing.

There were at least 4 Adult Lesser Blackbacked Gulls, and a couple more sub Adults and possibly some 1st winter birds. The Eagle kept the birds pretty nervous and they kept jumping up and moving all around. Some would leave and new ones came back in. Between 1 and 2 pm seems to be the time that the Iceland Gull have been coming in at the park.
