A bunch of lucky folks are watching the black-tailed gull now, east side of river, watching from the grounds of the museum.

Sent from my Droid - pardon the brevity!

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Black Tailed Gull observation points

 The Back Tailed Gull noted by Ben Coulter in his post provided good
observation this morning to about 30 birders, including Jim Heflich  and Hans
Petruchke , looking down from Point Park near the mouth of  the Ashtabula River
this a.m. for approximately 15 - 20 minutes , until about  9:50 a.m ,
before dispersing likely nearby along with approximately 150  other gulls.

  For those who might not have read Craig Holt's last post   at 7:51 p.m.
yesterday, it is noticeably dark mantled , appearing (in that light  anyway)
almost Black backed  in coloration , looking as he noted like a  Lesser
Black Back at rest , though more like a Ring Billed in size . In its  short
flights , its tail is very evident .
