Good news with Common Redpoll;mystery gull

As we all hope for ,the COMMON REDPOLL decided to stick around, seen by Rob Bate in the birches behind the Well Drive picnic tables ( "lamppost 249")

Birch seed catkins is a favorite of redpolls, similar to far northern aspens and similar trees.

A late post tonight from Kristin Costello over a different gull seen 3 pm on the lake, distant but showing field marks of maybe a Bonaparte's or Black headed Gull or even a early Laughing Gull. its unconfirmed but if u happen to see a likely bird  different from the usual gulls even if not sure of its ID please text me or tweet it  using " possible". Getting the word out is important.
