This is the biggest, whitest gull I have ever seen. I am not sure what kind it is, any imput would be helpful. I looked up Iceland Gull which is a possibility but it is as big as a Black Back. It looked like a Gull with Albinism. Most likely not and I am lucky to have seen it because it is gone.

Stormy Weather
The calm before the storm...
I took a walk the 14th of March and this is how the storm treated Monhegan. It was a typical Nor'easter. This storm lasted 2 days and the surf was high for 3. I will post the day 3 pictures later. Many of the pictures had to be deleted for water drops, sea spray on the lens or the contrast between the sky and surf blend. The camera captures the gist of the raw emotion the ocean is expressing but in no way captures the real emotion that a storm like this brings out in this person taking the pictures. I hope you enjoy these

Brant Geese taking cover in the harbor
The meadow is so full that the little pond area by the Vaughan house has expanded
This is Gull Pond, the waves were crashing over flooding the pond
The following pictures show the action there

Looking towards Whitehead
This wave overtook Whitehead, I couldn't believe my eyes!
I couldn't resist....

Whitehead again

More waterfalls
A wave had just crashed over Gull Rock, again...
This is what it looks like underneath one of those waves! Needless to say, I got soaked!
