[Maine-birds] Presumpscot River - Cans

The Canvasback pair was present in full - on sunshine today.  Also several RN Ducks, (mostly drakes).

Among the hundreds of Ring-Billed Gulls was a bright, adult, pursuing another gull while uttering a long, low, drawn-out call. 

One 1st winter Iceland Gull, plus the very bright adult, minus any hint of winter hood.  Why this isn't a typical "glaucoides" escapes me.  It has a small, rounded head; white eye; petite bill; pure white primary tips w/o a trace of gray, outer web or otherwise.
