For those collecting inland Washington gull reports:

Last Saturday, Nov. 30th, Lorna and I fed our extra breakfast pancakes to
the gull flock that usually congregates at Walla Walla Point Park in
Wenatchee. This park is located just south of the confluence between the
Wenatchee and Columbia Rivers in Chelan Co. Among the 40 or so Ring-billed
Gulls were a first year Thayer's Gull and an adult Mew Gull.

Also interesting was an adult Ring-billed Gull with a light pinkish wash to
its breast and neck.

The confluence area seems to attract some of the less common gulls in fall
and early winter. Neither the Thayer's or Mew is seen regularly in the
Wenatchee area. However, this spot has attracted Thayer's Gulls in the
past.
