MessageAt 11:30 this morning on the boat float in Lake Elizabeth (in front
of the visitors' information center, near Paseo Padre) was a GLAUCOUS GULL,
I think first cycle but conceivably second. Very clear distinguishing
traits, e.g. pale pinkish bill with clearly demarcated very dark tip.
On December 28 three cackling geese were mixed in with a bunch of local
Canada geese at the north end of Central Park. From photos I am comfortable
with two ALEUTIAN; the third looks reasonable for RIDGWAY'S but I am not
certain.
