Before I arrived, Bruce had already located 3 Iceland Gulls and 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Fortunately, we were able to relocated all five individuals. The LBBGs consisted of one adult and one immature. Unfortunately both birds were a bit distant, so photos were less than ideal. As for the Iceland Gulls, all three birds were gorgeous, but on bird was a remarkable looking adult, which we don&#8217;t get to see as often as the younger birds. Huge thanks to Bruce for all his help and the great company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/122624-ICGU.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/122624-ICGU-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/122624-ICGU-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/122624-ICGU-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/122624-ICGU-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/122624-ICGU-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/122624-ICGU-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/122624-ICGU.jpg 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Wow!
