RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black-headed Gull - credit where credit is duets

2020-02-10 Thread Riley, Mike 
The continuing Black-headed gull was standing on the ice off Stewart Park at 
4:15 PM today. It was at the SE corner of the main gull flock, close to shore. 
Thanks to the finders and other reporters for sharing this cool gull!

Thanks Ken. I spoke with Ann Mitchell yesterday, she is in France with Linda, 
and she told me B-H Gulls are everywhere :) It’s always funny to think of one 
person’s rarity as another’s Wegmans bird.

Thanks to Bob’s field trip for spicing up the day.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Black-headed Gull - credit where credit is duets

2020-02-10 Thread Magnus Fiskesjo 

In my country (Sweden) the name for Black-headed gull is 'laughing gull', a 
name I understand has been used here in the US as the colloquial for yet 
another species instead (Leucophaeus atricilla)--even though the Latin name of 
the 'Black-headed gull' does say it's the laughing one: Chroicocephalus 
ridibundus. Confusing! 

It's true they are still common, but I think they also fluctuate strangely, f 
ex at one of Sweden's foremost bird locales (Krankesjön, a Montezuma of sorts) 
when I was a kid it used to be there in massive breeding colonies, super-noisy. 
Now it's almost extinct locally.
