>A ROSS'S GULL was reported by Marty Collar today. Marty observed the
>bird at Sportsman's Park in Aberdeen, at the Big Hole. He was able to
>get video footage of this rare Arctic gull, however the identification
>has not been confirmed by any other observer (to our knowledge, no one
>knew about it until after dark). Secondary confirmation would be
>greatly appreciated. Marty says that the gull is attracted apparently
>to the offal left by ice fishermen in the area. We would encourage any
>and all information on this sighting to be sent to me (RC) or to the
>South Idaho RBA hotline (208-236-3337). Sportsman's Park is located off
