Cecil Bird Clubs "Cecil Gulls"


Learn to identify the different age classes of gulls with gull expert Gene Scarpulla.  Gene will show us how to pick out the rare gulls from the flocks of usual suspects, which include Great Black-backed, Herring, Ring-billed, and Bonaparte's. Possibilities are Lesser Black-backed Gulls, and White winged Gulls such as Iceland.  

Meet at 8:00 a.m. Saturday January 31, near the Wal-Mart at North East Plaza intersection of Rtes. 272 and 40.  We will carpool to our gull watching location from there - there is limited parking.  Be prepared to leave your car or offer a ride to others.

Bring scope if you have one.  Dress for extreme cold and/or wind and be prepared for walking and then standing still while we scan the flocks. Be aware that walking will be over rough ground, with possible muddy conditions, and possibly up steep slopes.  


Bring money for an optional thaw-out lunch at one of the seafood restaurants in NorthEast.
