Martin Parker, Vic Rizzo, Fred Pinto and myself went to the North Bay Landfill and saw lots of gulls, hundreds of them. Mixed in the Herring Gulls were about ten Glaucous Gull, about five Iceland and many Great Black-Backed Gulls. In the picture at the left is an Iceland Gull. Notice its all black beak which helps distinguish it from the slightly larger Glaucous Gull.

I saw all three of these arctic gull at various ages.
