Ben Morrison just had a long, extended view of the Kelp Gull at Springfield Lake. The gull was still settled on the lake when he had to leave soon after 8:00AM this morning. It was in close association with both a Great Black-backed & Lesser Black-backed Gull to provide great comparison of size and structure. The bird's broad white tertial skirt extending all the way down along the bottom of the folded wing was strikingly in view. The white on the primary tips are extremely limited at this point.If anyone is close it would be worth checking to see if the gulls are going to perhaps stay today in the dreary weather. Any photos would be great at this point.Kent Miller
