[Maine-birds] Fwd: banded gull

I have found three different banded Herring Gulls this year. Two of them were found at Deering Oaks Park in Portland last Friday.

BBN was born on the Portland Library, summer of 2015.  It was seen in late-Sept of 2015 in Deering Oaks Park. I saw it again on 6-24-16 at Deering Oaks Park.

AHS was born in the 2013 summer on the JB Brown roof, which is close to Portland Pie. My sighting on 6-24 at Deering Oaks Park in Portland was the  1st re-sight of this bird.

Herring Gull AJX  was banded as a chick in 2014 on the roof-top of MECA (Maine College of Art) on Congress Street in Portland by Noah Perlut. I saw it on 3-27-16 at Evergreen Cemetery in Portland.

I don't think I can look at a gull any more without checking out the legs.

Noah,

Here is the 2nd gull that I saw at the same time as BBN. It was on the little Island and I couldn't get a clear picture.

Thanks Bill. No, nothing unusual. I just like to know what they are up to.

Noah,

I just added the pictures I have to my Flicker page in an album called Banded Herring Gull. I go to Evergreen several times a month. If I see it again, is there anything you would like in the way of notes or photos?

Hi Bill,

 

Thanks for reporting the banded gull.  I banded that gull as a chick in 2014 on the roof-top of MECA (Maine College of Art) on Congress Street in Portland.  Can you please tell me more specifically where you saw it and what it was up to?  Incidentally, it was seen in the duck pond at Evergreen Cemetery in late-March.
