Observation details
This gorgeous juvenile Kittiwake was found (in inland PA!!) by Jordan Hillsley yesterday, 13.XII. An elegant gull (long, narrow wings) with a buoyant yet powerful flight with jet black on the leading edge of dorsal surface of wings, giving the appearance of an “M” stamped on back; black terminal tail band; a black collar; dark ear spot; short, black legs; and a black bill all contrasted by bright white everywhere else except for the grey mantle. Special thanks to Matt and Susan Schenck for the their extra effort in making sure we got on this gull! Photos while observed with 4 others. Congratulations to Jordan and thanks for the find!
