December 13th, 2005. Barton Cove in Gill, MA.
Glaucous Gull Larus hyperboreus. First-winter.
A very nice first-winter Glaucous Gull resting on the ice with less than ten other large gulls and just a few Ring-billeds. My first of the current winter season.

Also, in the Power Canal area at Turner's Falls;

Canada Goose - c.1000
Common Merganser - 61
Hooded Merganser - 1 fem/juv.
Barrow's Goldeneye - 1 female
Common Goldeneye - 16
Eastern Screech Owl - 1
Taken using Canon Powershot A-95 through Swarovski telescope.



Nice size comparison with a Ring-billed Gull.





Apologies for the strong glare on the images.
