This morning at Pt Wilson, Port Townsend, Barry McKenzie and I watched an
adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL in a gull feeding frenzy just north of the
point. No photos but details and full list are here:

I will seek to find it on the ground shortly.

Other highlights included a COMMON TERN, 3 PARASITIC JAEGERS, and a MINKE
WHALE. Also present was that crazy white-backed leucistic OLYMPIC GULL
(photo in eBird) that hung out at Maple View Dairy last year (making me
think the LBBG is also last year's Maple View Dairy bird).

good birding,
