Greetings All,

The Staty Backed Gull made it's appearance tonight almost on schedule. Several birders had gathered on the northernmost pier, the one with the small roof over the end of it. We went there because that's where most of the gulls were. After a futile hour of scanning the group, a wave of birds came in to raise our hopes. No luck!! 10 minutes later a second wave arrived and we all got on the SBGU almost immediately. The bird flapped frequently giving us all good looks at the wing markings. The mantle is ALMOST as dark as the primaries.

Good hunting!

-Rolan
