Ivory Gull

Rare bird sighting at Plymouth, Mass. First time in over two decades this bird has visited the area. It has been in the area for about a week now and still in area as of 27th Jan.

There was another at Gloucester, Mass but reports indicate it has not been seen in a few days.

I observed this bird today (27th) as member Mr. Bennet did on the 25th.

I forgot to add. There are reports of a Snowy Owl on the peninsular across from the sighting of the Ivory Gull. I did not see this day however.

As of Jan 30th the Ivory Gull is still in the area at Plymouth Mass.

Ben…yes, the Ivory Gull is mapped.

The last reported sighting was Friday Jan 30th. I was fortunate to see it twice.
