Yesterday, Jan. 19th Richard Hendrick and I found a gull in Grand
Coulee (at their North Dam Park) that looks to be a possible Lesser
Black-backed Gull. Neither of us have ever seen one before. It is with a
large group of Herring Gulls and is smaller and VERY black. It has pink
feet and legs, a dark bill with light tip, dark eyes with smudges around
them. There are some brownish streaks on back of its head and a few on
its sides.There are no white parts on the primaries, they are all
black. Teri Piper took some digital pictures of it today (the 20th)., It
was in the same spot, on ice near the open water. Maybe some of you gull
experts can check this one out. Meredith
