Shrike, Glaucous and Thayer’s Type Gulls, March 27, 2013

Glaucous Gull

Glaucous Gull, with Ring-billed Gull (click to see the larger version)

A shrike flew in off the lake early this morning. I walked around the point looking for it without luck so it will have to remain unidentified. Either species is possible now though Northern is far more likely. A pale first year Glaucous Gull and a pale first year Thayer’s type Gull were at the west end of the beach.
