Subject: [Tweeters] Unsuccessful so far IVORY GULL

Despite checking many gull roosts this morning no one has relocated the
Ivory Gull that we are aware of.
Because Brad checked the Richland landfill, he may have gotten a better
picture of some gull movements. Gulls have typically been on the ice at the
Yakima Delta in the morning then they depart. The landfill folks said that
they show up at the landfill around 10. There is a pattern of the gulls
returning to loaf on the ice in the afternoon about the time they leave the
landfill. Brad found a first basic Glaucous Gull at the landfill - it or
its look-alike was on the delta yesterday afternoon.
The gulls have become quite skittish with quite a few eagles scaring them
into the air. Even Red-tails flying by will spook the gulls.
