Spent some time at East 72nd street in Cleveland today. Too rainy to take camera out, and unfortunately, my gull book was unavailable. My notes read: "complete black head, dark wings with black wingtips - above and below -no white on wingtips, complete white tail" Unsure how to decide adult Laughing vs. second cycle Franklin's. Did see: Mute swan (bummer) Ring-billed Gull Herring Gull Bonaparte's gull Great Black Backed gull Mallard ducks Northern Shoveled Northern Pintails Buffleheads Ring-necked ducks Red-breasted merganzers Renee Tressler ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
