tickler n I saw gulls (on wing) which I could refer to no other species, and the settlers, to whom I showed specimens of [the kittiwake gull], said they were larger than the 'tickler,' - a small gull with which they evidently seemed familiar, and one which I think will prove to be this species. As the species of some Laridae [italics] in immature plumage are not easily determined, even by naturalists, there is room to doubt the testimony of fishermen, as well as my own, as to the identity of C. Philadelphia [italics] with the provincial name ('tickler'). kittiwake .[Check punctuation of last word. WK] Typed 21 Aug 2006 OCT 05 2011 W. J.
