Greetings All,

Today Bob and Adrienne Lockett and I made the trip from Portland to Tacoma for the Black-tailed Gull found on Commencement Bay two days ago. In mid-afternoon the bird finally appeared on the log booms off Marine View Dr. (on the e. side of Commencement Bay south of Browns Point) where it has been seen the past three days. Additionally, we had the juvenile Franklin's Gull (about 11:30AM) that has been there for several days.


A full report of our day, along with some photos (lousy distant shots of the Black-tailed) can be seen at the link below:
