Примечания
While the bright, poorly angled sunlight makes it difficult to photograph and accurately represent mantle shades, this unedited photograph still illustrates just how dark this Common Gull was compared to Herring Gulls in the background. In life, it was darker and structurally unlike any other Common Gull I’ve seen in Newfoundland. It also looked very different than Common Gulls that I saw during the nine months I spent living in Finland, which included both nominate canus and heini races.

(2 LBBGs) and then Goulds By Pass at Ruby line. The plowed field had 30+ Golden Plovers 2 Semipalmated Plovers, up to 11 Lesser Black-backed Gull, one LBBG/YLGU hybridish thing, might be a 3rd w. YLGU possibly a LBBGxHERG(photos.) But best was discovering the unusual Common Gull first found by Alvan Buckley at Quidi Vidi lake about ten days ago. It had not been seen since. It is big and dark. Unlike any Common Gull previously seen in Newfoundland. There are strong indications it is probably not the standard European race but probably one from Northern or even eastern Russia. Photos should appear on my blog later tonight. | As Bruce mentioned in his post, he and I refound an unusual looking Common Gull first photographed by Alvan Buckley on September 16. It is certainly an interesting study, and very possibly of a far eastern race of Common Gull rarely seen in North America. The jury is still out while we do some more research - but for those of you interested, we have posted some photos and discussion on our various blogs.
