I have put a video up of the Black-tailed Gull.

I found out yesterday just how hard it is to identify something without high powered optics, i.e., a ?big honking lens? or a telescope. I put a photo showing what you can see with a 400mm lens or a pair of binoculars along with some comments here: http://josephvhigbee.com/index.html

A big thank you to all those who have reported on this bird!
