“The ivory gull in the Arctic is like the canary in the coal mine,” said Abdalati.

"An adult ivory gull is the holy grail. It's almost a mythical bird in some ways. It was incredible to see."

Johansen shot another ivory gull yesterday, and we had it and another one for dinner.

Many snow birds were hatching on the Point, and we saw swans, Canada geese, eider, king, arctic, and surf ducks; several glaucous, silvery, black-headed, and ivory gulls, together with terns and northern divers.

The ivory gull, known as the 'ice partridge,' is sometimes caught by pouring seal's blood on the ice.
