[Maine-birds] Iceland/Glaucous? Gull Lewiston

Hello All,

Got a poor quick look at a sub adult Iceland or Glaucous Gull from the Lown Broad St/Cedar Street bridge.  It was flying past the Franco-American Center heading toward the Bates Mill and I got only a rear view and quick view of dorsal surface enough to discern it was nearly uniformly a dingy white.

Despite a Bald Eagle sending about 70 Gulls into the air while doing a river survey about 30 minutes later I could not pick out this bird again from the swirling masses.


Probably still around somewhere.
