I was able to find the first-cycle Iceland Gull previously reported by
Rick Asamoto around 3:00 pm today (2/18).  It was in the same area as
described in Rick's post, and was down on the water with some Herring and
Ring-billed Gulls.  I birded from the bike path (assuming one could find it
under all of the snow!).  There were also hundreds of Ring-billed Gulls on
the bank of the river, which I spent over 30 minutes scanning before the
Iceland Gull seemingly flew in from nowhere.

   There were also several other species present at this site:

Northern Shoveler
Mallard
American Black Duck
Hooded Merganser (1 female)
Gadwall
Ring-necked Duck
Redhead
Canada Goose
American Coot
Mute Swan (3)


   Best of luck,
