Hi all, I made a trip to look for a celestial (Arctic) gull - IVORY GULL that showed up day before yesterday at Cape May. I made decision and left in 45 min to take the trip to Cape May. I dragged Ann Mitchell, who was heading home to Ithaca from Delaware (rather she planned to join me willingly in less than a few seconds) in Allentown rest stop on I-476, where I met her accidently, to join me to see the IVORY GULL.
The Ivory Gull, based on my camera photo frame timings gave exactly 24 seconds of spiritual visit by landing 12 to 15 feet away from us on pole and flew away shortly leaving us in awe! Here is one of the photos of the bird taken during the encounter. More about the bird and people will come on my blog at a later time. http://picasaweb.google.com/mharibal/IVORYGULLCAPEMAYNJNov292009#5409712387883774130 It was an awesome week-end.
