Observation details

First winter hanging out in harbour. https://groups.google.com/g/nf.birds/c/X7YPhMobOFQ/m/8Oc_YUyRGEoJ "During my holiday visit home to Lewisporte, I found a 1st winter COMMON GULL in the harbour on Tibb's Eve (Dec. 23). It cooperated long enough to allow a few quick pictures. I managed to see it again briefly yesterday and this morning. Must be one of very few provincial records outside of St. John's. Also present in the harbour were 13 BLACK-HEADED GULLS - the first I've seen in Lewisporte, despite checking each winter around this time. A total of 55 Black Ducks were hanging out in the bottom of the harbour, and about a dozen Red-breasted Mergansers were seen sporadically. Passerines were very scarce around town -- hardly any finches or other expected feeder birds. A similar lack of birds was noted in Glenwood & Appleton when I participated in the Gander CBC on Boxing Day."
