Ivory Gull in Rhode Island

An Ivory Gull ventured down from the arctic and was found in a private section of Little Compton on December 7'th, 2007. Unfortunately, it only lingered for one more day.

This is a rare and declining species. Here's an interesting article about the status of Ivory Gulls.

Here are a couple of shots of the Little Compton gull from very far out.
