This afternoon Matt Brady and I went to Moss Landing to try and refined the
probable Vega Gull that we had last week. We didn't see it but I am now
thoroughly convinced that what we had was not an American Herring Gull (or
any other American gull) and one from Eurasia almost certainly Vega Gull.
What we did find was 15-20 THAYER's GULLS mainly first winter but with at
least one 2nd year and one adult. As I was scanning I picked out a
particularly pale individual which immediately struck me as being a possible
KUMLIEN's ICELAND GULL. The bird over all was much paler then nearby
Thayer's Gulls. The tertials and primaries had quite a bit of white in them.
The structure of the bird matched Iceland very well. I wasn't able to get a
good look at the bird in flight as it sort of snuck off. It may be an
intergrade but I felt that it matched a pure (if there is such a thing)
Kumlien's. I was able to get video of the bird but I doubt I will be able to
grab any images to post on the web any time soon. Also there was another
pale Thayer's which was probably an intergrade but I was paying a bit more
attention to the other bird. The flock was on a sandbar at low tide around
4:30 off of Jetty Road.
Last night around 12:30 in th woods behind UCSC we heard a couple of WESTERN
SCREECH OWLS and also what sounded like a woodpecker pecking. I suspected it
to be a mammal except that it sounded exactly like pecking.
