Hello Tweets,

Yesterday I birded at a few Tacoma area locations in preperation for tye
Tacoma CBC on the 18th. I started at Am. Lake, where the adult winter
LITTLE GULL was present with 65 Boneaparte's Gulls off Harry Todd Park at
10am. A AM.DIPPER was present on Murray Creek, just before it empties into
Am.Lake, on Camp Murray. Along the Puyallup River at 10:45, on a rooftops
at Sealand, the adult winter SLATY-BACKED GULL was observed along with 8
WESTERN GULLS, and 1 1st winter GLAUCOUS GULL, and other gulls, as the
roosted. A second 1st winter GLAUCOUS GULL(a much darker bird overall, than
the previous bird)was present at the Gog-le-hi-te Wetland.

Good Birding,

Patrick Sullivan
