No. 1 December 14, 2005 Franklin's Cove Tullytown, Bucks Co. PA Dark backed and heavily streaked individual
No. 2 December 14, 2005 Franklin's Cove Tullytown, Bucks Co. PA a poorly focused image, but a good example of how stumpy the species can look at this time of year
No. 3 December 14, 2005 Franklin's Cove Tullytown, Bucks Co. PA 2 views to show leg color and primaries
No. 4 December 14, 2005 Franklin's Cove Tullytown, Bucks Co. PA I think the 1st cycle bird is a Lesser
No. 5 December 17, 2005 Tullytown Landfill, Bucks Co. PA This image is probably more interesting for the variation of head-streaking of the surrounding Herring, but it does show how the mantle can stand out in a brightly lit group of birds
No. 6 December 17, 2005 Tullytown Landfill, Bucks Co. PA a hooded individual
No. 7 December 28, 2005 Franklin's Cove, Tullytown, Bucks Co. PA
