2nd winter (now 3rd calendar year). Common Gulls are 3-year gulls as opposed to Herring/Lesser Black-backed Gulls which take 4 years to matue.
Although this wasn't a life bird for me it still presented me with an irresistible photography opportunity that I couldn't pass up. This was the first time that I'd ever seen one of these unique birds perched before. I photographed this bird on a fencepost in Pawnee National Grassland in Colorado. They have no trees to perch in there so they have to settle for fence posts instead.
This Common Yellowthroat popped up unexpectedly during our brief visit to Ohio last month. As we were walking through the park he popped up on a locust tree and gave us a brief look. I wonder if he may have been a migrant as I usually see Common Yellowthroats around water but as far as I could tell there was none around when this one showed up.

(Geothlypis trichas) -- Common Yellowthroat
A broad black mask lends a touch of highwayman’s mystique to the male Common Yellowthroat. Look for these furtive, yellow-and-olive warblers skulking through tangled vegetation, often at the edges of marshes and wetlands. Females lack the mask and are much browner, though they usually show a hint of warm yellow at the throat. Yellowthroats are vocal birds, and both their witchety-witchety-witchety songs and distinctive call notes help reveal the presence of this, one of our most numerous warblers.

Wikipedia: The common flameback (Dinopium javanense), also referred to as the common goldenback, is a small (28–30 cm), three-toed woodpecker in the family Picidae, found throughout South and Southeast Asia.
As shy and secretive birds, common flamebacks are unlikely to be found in urban areas. They live in a variety of habitats, ranging from moist open forests, to scrubs, and mangroves. Although they generally enjoy lowlands, they can reach altitudes of 1700m above sea level in India and in those cases prefer living in pine forests.
Their distribution ranges across Southeast Asia, from the Western Ghats in India to the Indochinese peninsula and several of the Greater Sunda Islands.
