[Maine-birds] Iceland and Glaucous up close


After patrolling the Portland waterfront with only distant views of gulls, I finally hit the jackpot
At the end of Custom House Wharf
There were fish bait buckets being swarmed by gulls. 
I got to within 3 feet of them and got an iPhone Meopta photo thru my binoculars of a very cooperative Iceland Gull
Spectacular!

    Finally found a snowy in something approaching natural habitat. Not many
    chimneys in the Arctic :). This was taken in a large blueberry field,
    which this year definitely qualifies as Arctic.

    Who was looking for photos of snowies?

    The bluebird that Cathy posted appears to have an aluminum band PLUS a
    color band. Can you get a photo of the other leg? Dave

    As a passive reader of this blog, I am surprised that I have not read any
    comments or discussion about the devastating fire at Birdsacre in Ellsworth.
    Is the Maine Audubon community assisting the historic and wonderful
    volunteers at that facility in any way?
