Kumlien's Iceland Gull (another life bird!)

Another birder found and IDed this gull on the Ohio River in New Richmond, Ohio the other day. It has been hanging out for a while. I believe that I had seen this bird for a while and was passing it off as an odd Herring Gull. I am not as familiar with gulls as I would like to be!

This morning, before work, I was able to obtain these photos of the bird.

And just to add some color to the grays and whites, this male Wood Duck flew in and was preening nearby this morning.

Ross's Goose!

I found this Ross's Goose at East Fork State Park on Friday, Feb. 11, 2011. This is a life bird! (Click on all for larger)

And there was this far away Long-tailed Duck
