From Julie Ellis’ Gulls of Appledore blog:
Very exciting news for all you larophiles out there! As many of you know, a Lesser Black-backed Gull has been nesting on Appledore Island and has paired up with a Herring Gull for the last three years. [see the "Lesser Black-backed Gull" tab for details] On December 13, 2009 Blair Nikula observed an unusual second year gull at Herring Cove Beach in Provincetown, MA. He thought it looked like a hybrid LBBG x HERG and took several photos of it.

No timid soul can be induced to walk alone after dark over a certain shingly beach on the island, at the top of a cove bearing Babb’s name–for it is there that his uneasy spirit is often seen.
