Julie Gratien (315) 399-3446 www.cnyartguild.com page 2 Ross's Gull

This is a juvenile Ross's gull (Rhodostethia rosea) Ross's gull breeds in the high Arctic of northernmost North America, and northeast Siberia. It migrates only short distances south in autumn, most of the population wintering in northern latitudes at the edge of the pack ice in the northern Bering Sea and in the Sea of Okhotsk. This juvenile Ross's Gull was photographed on January 30, 2018 in a small Dutch fishing village of Vlissingen, , which was extremely unusual for this gull to be this far south from the Arctic. Since this is an extremely rare sighting it was submitted for verification and acceptance into the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Macauley Library. After many months of review by the staff at the Macauley Library, it was approved and will now remain a permanent part of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology!
