Iceland Gull at the Forks of the Delaware ~ November 14, 2023
I drove down to the "Forks of the Delaware" in Easton to see if there were any gulls there. I was not disappointed. There were hundreds of gulls on the Delaware River and a large group standing on the rocks below the dam on the Lehigh. I started scanning through them, counting the Herring and Lesser Black-backed Gulls among the abundant Ring-billeds. I had gone through about two-thirds of the group when I was surprised to find a first-winter Iceland Gull! I was able to get these photos of it as it stood there.
