One bird I forgot to mention in my earlier post was an aberrant gull we saw at the Beulah Landfill on Friday. It appeared to be a partial albino Great Black-back. I think it was a second- or third-year bird, probably third judging by the bill color. The black in the back was not dark and the wings were mostly white with black tips. I call it the Pied Gull. I hope someone can get a photo of it in the future.
