Hi all,

I just received a comment on my blog from the person reporting the Black-tailed Gull...well, it _is_ the internet, so I'm assuming it's the person who made the report :). Here's an excerpt: "Today, Dec. 23rd at about 3:20 pm, while waiting in traffic next to the
transit center at the Lakewood Mall (south of Tacoma) I saw a
Black-tailed Gull. I was sitting in my car watching half a dozen large
gulls circling and picking at garbage on the sidewalk along with
several crows about 50 feet away to the northwest of me..."

Subject: [Tweeters] Lakewood Mall Black-tailed Gull?

A Black-tailed Gull was reported from the Lakewood Mall on eBird's "Noteable Bird Sightings" for today. Since I have not heard anything on Tweeters I am wondering if it is legitimate or if anyone here has looked for, or found it.
