Greetings,
Gull-watching conditions are very good at E. 72nd Street in Cleveland now,
as a growing ice shelf has brought many of the birds in close. I spent an
hour there this afternoon and counted:
GLAUCOUS GULL, 5 (1 adult, 1 second cycle, 3 first cycle)
ICELAND GULL, 2 (1st cycle)
LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL, a lot! Conservatively, there were 10 3rd-cycle or
older LBBG's. I didn't spend any time looking for 1st year birds amongst
all the young Herrings.
BONAPARTE'S GULL, ~200 mostly keeping to themselves in a tight flock at the
western breakwall. Numbers up from a couple days ago.
good birding,
Ben Winger
Cleveland Heights
p.s.--have any gmail users out there been able to set up a filter for this
Ohio-birds listserve? I can't seem to get it to work. Please reply
privately if you know the trick.
