Today I scoped a male BARROW'S GOLDENEYE at Rapids City, Ill.
This is the same location as last winter's Barrow's so I assume
that bird has returned to Mississippi River Pool 14. Also of note
in that area was a Ross's Goose and 5 or 6 Trumpeter Swans seen
from the boat ramp.
Most of today's gulls were concentrated at Butterworth Parkway
in Moline, Ill. Numbers weren't overly impressive but there was a
good selection of species. Notables huddled on the ice were:
1 1W Great Black-backed Gull
1 Juv. Iceland Gull
1 1W Iceland/Thayer's Gull (continuing)
1 Adult Lesser Black-backed Gull (continuing)
2 Adult& juv. Thayer's Gulls
2 Juv. Glaucous Gulls
