January 10th, 2007. Pickering Ponds, near Rochester Waste Water Treatment Plant, NH. Kumlien's Iceland Gull. Larus glaucoides kumlieni. Adult winter. Distant adult with darker gray primaries than this adult at the treatment plant earlier in the day. Also showed denser blotching on the head and chest forming a nice neat pectoral band. Images taken using Canon Powershot A540 through Swarovski HD Telescope. |
 Not always that easy to pick out from American Herring Gulls.  Kumlien's Iceland Gull (center).  Kumlien's Iceland Gull (center).  Kumlien's Iceland Gull (center). |
