On
Monday December
5, 2005 Dot Fleury found a first year Iceland Gull on Indian
Lake in the Town of
Northeast. It was there a few days and was last seen Wednesday
afternoon December 7. Indian
Lake is on the Dutchess/Connecticut border. You can see
the lake from the road along the east shore... County Route 62
which goes south out of Millerton goes into Connecticut, where
it becomes Rte. 361.
Iceland
Gulls normally winter further north along the coast. However,
first and second year birds often wander farther south and occasionally
into Dutchess County.
