Glaucous Gull - Duxbury Beach, MA - March 30, 2015 distant flight pix

First saw this big white bird standing with a Great Black Backed Gull on the High Pines peninsula - far too big and chunky to be Iceland. By the time I got camera on it, the two had flown and headed southwest toward Clark's Island. This distant documentation shot shows unmarked wingtips, uniform coloration, and bulk. First of year for me at Dux Beach. A Glaucous has been reported out on Saquish and across the channel on Plymouth Beach - very likely the same bird.
