Dennis Hrehowsik tweeted out first at 8:34 the GLAUCOUS GULL the larger species ( relative to larger than Herring Gull) seen in the Lake west-middle between Three Sisters and West Islands.
Then I rode towards to Lake for a look, I ran into Rob Bate who by then tweeted out that the Glaucous had left. But before it took off, it was seen at the same time with two ICELAND GULLS!
I haven't heard ever three such birds together simultaneously on Prospect Lake. With nearby Bush Terminal Pier park reporting regularly both species, its likely these gulls were from that site. I was lucky to see the one Iceland Gull, sitting in the Lake middle halfway between Three Sisters and the Peninsula south shore.Nevertheless a great report to hear of these rare gulls visiting Prospect Lake.On a lesser note, 7 is a great number . AS I mentioned yesterday with the 7 Ringnecked Ducks ( not seen today ) , 7 WOOD DUCKS remain consistently on Upper Pool, three drake with the 4 hens.
The other noted duck species though just two, was the reappearance of the RED BREASTED MERGANSERS in the lake west section.
