Interesting landfill birds in Erie

1/29/2014

I spent about an hour yesterday and today at the Lake View Landfill SE of Erie and found some interesting birds.

Tough times for ravens as well, since about three of them turned up for the first time at the landfill.  The crows didn't seem to bother them, but the gulls gave them a hard time as they grabbed pieces of garbage.  The ravens flew around the landfill calling and after grabbing a piece of garbage they would fly south.

Other birds of interest at the landfill include:
  • Rough-legged Hawk  two light and one dark
  • Thayer's Gull  one first cycle and one second cycle
  • Iceland Gull  one third cycle
  • Glaucous Gull  two or three first cycle and one adult
