Seward, Alaska
Today about 1:30, a single Herring-type Gull flew over my head and landed at the tideline. As it passed, I
noticed a very odd thing, an antenna sticking out from its back! Its feathers
partially covered a gray box, presumably a transmitter. The gull was obviously
bothered by this thing and tried to pry and preen it off, without success.
Does anybody know who might
be tracking Herring Gulls in Alaska?
It would be interesting to
know where this bird started and where it has been. Most Herring Gulls migrate
from this area by September, so it may already be en route.
Happy Birding!
