Observation details
3 juv and 1 adult. All 4 birds were loafing in the water just west of Wilcox Dock and were carefully counted several times during multiple sweeps with my spotting scope. The adult appeared to be very similar to one of the birds I photographed on Thursday, exhibiting very pale primary feathers. It was a bit further out than the three juveniles therefore I did not bother digiscoping it in the frigid conditions. Digiscope images of all 3 juvs attached, plus additional flight photos as one of the juvs eventually flew in and passed north of my position. These 3 distinct juveniles add to the 3 distinct adults that I documented on 22 December totaling 6 Iceland Gulls between 22-24 December.
