At east 72nd Street I also had an odd bird that resembled a huge immature Thayer's gull. My guess is it is a hybrid between a herring and glaucous gull, sometimes referred to as Nelson's gull. If you are out there and see a bird that might be a young Thayer's, take a closer look. Here is a link to a couple photos. http://www.rarebird.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7080 <http://www.rarebird.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7080&PID=21500叼> &PID=21500叼 John Pogacnik 4765 Lockwood Road Perry, OH 44081 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
