Today on the Yakima River Delta in Richland there was an adult Lesser
Black-backed Gull. Conditions for finding gulls were perfect as the delta
was frozen and the gulls came streaming in to loaf (around 2 pm). Initially
there were about 30 gulls but eventually there were several hundred. There
were also 2 first-winter Thayer's Gulls and an adult Glaucous Gull.
Temperatures will be above freezing in the very near future which could make
re-finding this bird a challenge.

An extra added bonus was an American Tree Sparrow.
