Here's the story:



Yes, there was an Ivory Gull at the Bateman Marina for a whole 3 minutes. Brad Waggoner came over from Bainbridge Island to attempt to see the Lesser Black-backed Gull. Today the gulls did not mass at the delta so he was unsuccessful. So, instead he found an IVORY GULL!!!!! He was driving into Columbia Park when he saw the gull in flight. He followed it back upriver to the marina. It sat on the ice for 3 minutes giving Brad an unmistakable view. It flew upriver just as Nancy arrived. She saw a white bird in the scope but that's all.



By those laws of birding - he did videotape the bird but his camera malfunctioned and there are lines through the images. It shows enough to confirm the bird and make us all wish we were there and that it stayed.



We will update if it is relocated.
