I was at Hoover Dam in the morning and there was a huge swarm of gulls at the south end of the reservoir. I estimated 10000 Ring-billed and 100 Herring. I didn't see the kittiwake or Glaucous but did see an adult Lesser Black-backed and a first-winter Great Black-backed!

We quickly found the Black-legged Kittiwake that was previously reported. It seems to be in adult nonbreeding plumage. It was sitting on the dock that is out in the water. We split up and I headed North. I stopped at the Walnut boat ramp and saw a large white gull. Tracked down my husband and scope and realized we had a Glaucous Gull. Probably a 2nd winter bird. I am sure there are other unusual gulls among the thousands there, I was just too cold to keep looking. Ken stayed behind, so there may be more to report later. > > Julie and Ken Davis > Westerville > [log in to unmask] > > ______________________________________________________________________ > > Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society. > Our thanks to Miami University for hosting this mailing list. > Additional discussions can be found in our forums, at www.ohiobirds.org/forum/. > > You can join or leave the list, or change your options, at: > http://listserv.muohio.edu/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=OHIO-BIRDS > Send questions or comments about the list to: [log in to unmask] > ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
