If one watches the seal cam for a bit, you will likely see an Iceland Gull or two out there. In just a few minutes of viewing on Wed., an adult and 1st-year bird were easily seen.

Subject: [Maine-birds] white-winged gulls at Winter Harbor
Returning from the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park today, my return route takes me through Winter Harbor. There was a waterfront building with about 100 gulls on it. I thought to myself, “Self, you should look at those birds.) Sure enough, an Iceland Gull practically jumped out at me. While I was watching, a Glaucous Gull landed immediately behind. It was great to see that side-by-side comparison. Looking out over the water, a second Glaucous Gull was floating.
