Check out the bill on this Northern Mockingbird - the top mandible crosses over the top - but it doesn't seem to slow this guy down! I've seen him 3 years in a row now at the Botanical Gardens. Photographed on the 2nd.

A neat study bird: this Lesser Black-backed Gull appeared to have a fully gray mantle that an adult would have - but note the large amount of black in the bill, the not-quite yellow legs, and the heavy streaking on the head, neck, and eyes - all pointing to a sub-adult bird. Woodlawn Beach SP on the 8th.

Another photo of the Lesser Black-backed grouped with Great Black-backed, a Ring-billed, and Herring Gull - giving a nice size comparison.

This (presumed) Snow Goose x Canada Goose hybrid was seen at Johnson Creek, in Lyndonville, on Jan. 18th. This bird shows the white head/neck, pinkish bill and legs, and partial grin patch of a Snow Goose, as well as the rich, dark brown body of a Canada Goose.

Some of the Common Redpolls in a flock of over 60 individuals found on Swigert Rd. in Newfane on the 26th. Targeting the rows of alder trees that are often associated with apple orchards has been a fairly productive strategy for finding this species.
