Iceland Gull (Kumlien's) 1 While scanning the big gull flock on Prospect Lake I picked up a gull in flight with striking pale wingtips. I followed it with binoculars for about 30 seconds, in flight only. It was whitish pale overall with only dusky gray smudging on wing and tail. The all black bill and size (bigger than RBGUs but not dwarfing them) seemed to rule out Glaucous and be better for 1st cycle Iceland. I was unable to refind it among the hundreds of other gulls but it was possibly still on the water or ice when I was forced to leave (my daughter, strapped to my chest, doesn't seem to be laraphile yet...)
