Steve Landes just called to report that the first-year black-legged kittiwake remained near the Hoover Res. dam in northern Franklin County. It was resting with ring-billed gulls this morning on the ice just north of open water at the dam, and easily picked up by its slighter darker mantle, with dark bill, folded wings, post-ocular spot and "scarf." These birds do not usually hang around for long.
