Greetings Gene

Thanks for the report. Much, much appreciated

There is, by the way, something other than largish Iceland Gull (without dark on primaries) and runt Glaucous Gull. It is called, "unidentifiable." Sadly, some birds fall into this category, especially when dealing with species in which size, shape, or subtleties in color are the major factors for ID.

Very good to hear from you.

Best Wishes
Steve Mlodinow

Steve, Tom,

Here are some highlights from the fall.

Gene.

PS: The Iceland Gull was no "runt Glaucous"! Give me a break!

Greetings All

Well, the active and exciting fall season is drawing to its soggy close.
It is time again for me to beg and plead for reports of any unusual sightings. We (Tom Aversa for WOSNews) and I (for North American Birds) are not only interested in birds that are rare overall (such as Tropical Kingbird) but birds that are seasonally unusual (Bullock's Oriole in October, for example) or exceptional numbers (e.g., 5000 Vaux's Swifts).

Please send reports to fieldnotes at wos.org or to SGMlod at aol.com and tom.aversa at zoo.org.

Though we try to keep a careful eye on Tweeters and Inland Birders NW, some sightings do escape our eye and some folks (heaven forbid!) don't report all their goodies to Tweeters.

So, please send us your data directly.
Deadline is 15 December. Fall season covers 1 August through 30 November.

Cheers
Steven Mlodinow
