Northern visitor

St. John's, NL(Zone 5b)

Last week we had a cold snap in Newfoundland and the winds apparently brought us a visitor from the high Arctic. I doubt many of you have ever feasted your eyes on an Ivory Gull. In my opinion, it is the world's prettiest gull. Certainly the only one that is pure white.

Wow! Very nice, and an adult, too! The only one I've seen was a first-winter, with black spots on the wings, and a 'dirty' face
