Greetings all,



The Ross?s Gull was again seen by a plethora of birders
today at Palmer Lake. The bird was first
observed at the absolute north end of the lake sitting on some ice the sunny
side of the lake). It took off and flew
to the south end where it sat on the far shore for a while before finally
making its way over to the deer carcass a little before noon allowing good
views by all. It remained in this immediate vicinity when we left at 1:00. As far as I saw, everyone stayed off the private property, which was awesome.
Here is a link to a video I took of the Ross's Gull on Tuesday (Taken from the road, looking through the tangle of trees/brush). Change it to HD for best results.
