Midwest/Great Plains peeps, fyi…..

Bird watchers are flocking to southwest Kansas after the appearance there of a Ross's gull, a rare species generally found only in Siberia, Greenland, Canada and northern Alaska.

"This is a really big deal to birders, not only to Kansans but to birders across the United States," said Carol Morgan, president of the Topeka Audubon Society.

It's a beautiful white bird ! If it was southeast Kansas, I might travel to see them myself.

My favorite gull. Beautiful little birds. I’m really lucky to have seen them in breeding plumage so I don’t have to go to Kansas.
