Colorado Birder

ID on #3 bird? Thanks Gary

Hello Recently moved from CO to VT so exploring the birdy state 🙂 . Last week north end of Lake Champlain, west of Saint Albans. 1. Glaucous Gull? Seems very white. Another white gull left of heron? 2. These look to be Ring-billed and Herring? 3. Youngster Great-blacked Backed Gull? 4. Caspian terns loafing in middle of photo, seem pretty large? Thanks Gary

Local gull expert states "LBBG due to clean white head, extra large gonys spot and not enough white in scapular and tertial crescents." Darn, no lifer! Still present in my county seen today again. Still looking for it ... Thanks Gary

Hi all Colorado has been hosting a rare Slaty-backed Gull last week or so in Weld and Larimer counties. This lake (Kyger Open Space) was one of its favorite hangouts. The bird in question is swimming on the water. Thanks Gary, Nunn, CO In this photo looks like a Lesser on the beach.

Hi all Seen on our Crow Valley Xmas Count this weekend on Pawnee National Grassland. "Common" (mocker) during breeding season. We did have one mocker on this count few years back. Only photos I have. When I initially saw it it looked to have long tail and when perched those drooping wings (seen in binos). I hoped for mocker but each passing day says Northern Shrike.
