#6 Birding Moment of 2011

Iceland Gull
My number six birding moment of 2011 occurred on January 17th. I had the day off because of Martin Luther King Day, and I went out to Oahe Dam to look for the Iceland Gull that had been reported out there. This bird would be number 368 on my life list, and I was determined to find it. After considerable difficulty, I was finally able to locate the Iceland Gull among all the other gulls flying over the tailrace. I managed to get a grainy but identifiable picture of the bird flying, and later I wrote this account of that day's adventure.
