Adult ICELAND GULL at Cherry Creek SP Marina - now!

[Joe Roller]

At 9:02 today, Monday, December 5 John Drummond phoned me to report an adult ICELAND GULL on the logs

at the Marina in the NW corner of Cherry Creek SP. Pure species, not a hybrid.

John is there with an intrepid band of Colorado Springs birders who venture out into the field every Monday morning.

Rarity! Go for it.

CO Birders :

     On further examination of my photos there was in addition to the adult Iceland Gull , an adult Glaucous Gull in close proximity about the same time so those birders who came after our MAMBO group left beware . The adult all white gull that we were looking at from the end of the pier and photographing was the adult Glaucous Gull not Iceland !!!! . The Iceland was only seen from the top of the incline but both birds were on the logs . Teaches me not to jump to conclusions even though we moved just a 100 yards .
