Summer
:
Casual
Jun-Sep on saltwater. Most records are of sub-adults.
Migration/Winter
:
Rare
early Nov-late Apr on saltwater with
outliers
from early Oct and to late May. Most birds are seen in mixed flocks of Herring and Great Black-backed Gulls.
Casual
on fresh water.
Miscellany: Until the
local
sardine packing plants shut down in the 1990s, up to five Glaucous Gulls per plant could be seen each
winter
feeding on the fish waste from the packing process. At present, it's very unusual to see more than a single bird.
