Today I birded Dash Point and Brown's Point in Pierce County with hopes of catching a glimpse of Ryan Shaw's Sabine's Gull.

No luck there, but on the return to Seattle I stopped at Dumas Bay Park (King Co) where I received my consolation prize: a FRANKLIN'S GULL.

I digiscoped the bird in the waning light. Images may be viewed at http://www.pbase.com/marvbreece/new_images_of_washington_birds
