Amazing place for new and experienced birders. 42 species in less than 6 hours. Highlights include: Red-headed woodpecker Pine warbler Eastern phoebe Double-crested cormorant Pied-billed grebe Greater Scaup Bufflehead Hooded mergansers There are birds everywhere. Only got out of my car for the water birds. You can find the complete checklist from today's trip on ebird. Just look for red-headed woodpecker for the current year in Ohio and click on the marker for Clean Lake (just southeast of Caesar's Creek). [...]44_21Mar201321:50: [log in to unmask] |

Has anybody heard of a study of Ring-billed Gulls that involves coloring or dyeing the birds? Here is what I read on another site:
"I observed apurple Ring-Billed Gull below the Alum Creek Dam (southern Delaware County)
this morning. It looked like it had been dipped in grape juice and I
would say that 90 to 95 percent of the gull was purple"
Since it's not April 1, I wondered if anyone else had seen similar gulls or knew of a research study that would explain this sighting. The other option, I suppose, would be a bird that got into something that colored its feathers.
