Late yesterday afternoon at the boat launch at Perkins Pier (foot of 
Maple St. in Burlington) in among about 75 mallards at the edge of the 
parking lot was one lone, juvenile- looking gull. I"ve looked through 
all my books and the closest I could come up with was Sibley's 2nd 
winter Glaucous Gull, but it was neither "large or powerful" as per his 
description. ( Young Iceland was a thought...) It  was white, lightly 
speckled with grey, with pink-ish legs, small dark eyes, black tip of 
bill (didn't note color of front of bill), rounded head and front of 
head had a definite grey cast. Any help on this one?? It's snowing 
pretty hard right now, but I may try to get down for another look; 
sorry, no digital camera, but I may try my old-fashioned SLR. Nancy
