As if gulls weren’t tricky enough…add hybrids and color variations! This interesting gull appears to be a leucistic Ring-billed Gull (leucistic beginning with an ‘L’ which goes along with the ‘L’ in the word lighter). Steph Foraker photographed this bird at Unity Island on the 10th.

Evening Groasbeaks seem to have scattered to the wind after the brief pulse of them moving into the region last fall. A private residence in Varysburg, Wyoming County, has caught the eye of a flock of these beauties. Andrea Heine took this photo on the 4th.

One of the more spectacular birds that occur year-round throughout the BOS Study Area is the Cedar Waxwing! In winter, this species holds court with its incredible palette of colors! Nathan Stimson photographed this beauty at the Audubon Community Nature Center, Chautauqua County on the 11th.

Lapland Longspurs (right) will mix in with flocks of Snow Buntings and Horned Larks (left) as they feed along road edges after a snowfall. Farm fields that have been freshly manured are another favorite foraging location for these ‘field birds’. Brad Reinhardt took this image on the 28th near Lincoln, Ontario.
