| See the Iceland Gull? Collins Pond Caribou |

| Juvenile Black-legged Kittiwake in flight, upper right | 
I DID see the previously reported Kittiwake was still present and flying about the lake.  I also saw a couple Northern Pintails and a surprisingly big flock of Canada Geese.
Collins Pond had over 500 gulls this AM including two Icelands.  A banded Great Black-backed Gull was preening on the ice.  The alpha code on the black color band on its left leg appeared to be "BW" or "8W"  I photographed it and sent the images to some gull researchers and will post if I hear anything about the origin of this bird.  Appledore?
