I was reading an interesting article today about a rare sighting of an Ivory Gull in the Pismo Beach area of California.
Ivory gulls are arctic species that normally stay confined to northern regions throughout the year. This is only the second ivory gull recorded in California, and one of the most southernmost recordings ever for this species. Birders are especially thrilled because unlike the juvenile ivory gull reported in New Jersey in November, 2009, the California bird is a full adult with its stunning snow white plumage.
