Hi Tweeters,

I was looking at the websites of other digiscopers the other day and found a photo taken in Newfoundland of a hybrid Glaucous Gull X Great Black-backed Gull. Since this was discussed ad nauseam on Tweeters, I thought this would be interesting for the gull fans in Tweeterland to see. It can be found on Jean Iron's website:

I e-mailed Jean with some questions about the hybrid gull and a friend of hers, Willie D'Anna, sent me a photo he took with three gulls in it -- a 1st winter Great Black-backed, a 2nd winter Great Black-backed (same age as the Renton GBBG) and the hybrid GLGU X GBBG. Willie gave me permission to put it on my website for everyone to study. It is in the Great Black-backed Gull folder on my website (link is in the signature box).

Enjoy,

Denny
