Greetings!
My chance meeting with three fellow birders at Farmington Bay
today made an already great day spectacular. First, Tom Little and I
enjoyed watching nearly 50 Bald Eagles in the trees just east
of Goose Egg Island. I then met up with Terry Sadler for a few minutes and
he helped me find two Thayer's Gulls on the west side of
the second bridge. Terry left, but I stayed to look for the Glaucous
Gull he had seen earlier. I happened upon Tony Jones who had his
scope on a juvenile Glaucous-winged Gull. About that same
time, I spotted a 2nd winter Glaucous
Gull. Within a few minutes, these two birds had
gravitated toward each other and could be seen together without moving the
scope. What a treat! They were on the east side of the first
bridge. Thanks to all who previously reported these birds.
Didn't see anything else that hasn't already been
reported. It was nice to see the swans and pelicans are back.
