Thanks to Inga Schmidt for posting my message earlier today.  A new LIFE
bird for me!  And thanks to everyone else who has kept us posted on its
presence.



What a thrill when you first see this bird in flight - it really stands out,
even to a gull-challenged birder like me.  I posted a few pictures to my
Picasa site for anyone is interested.

Take your point-n-shoot camera when you go.  As we stood on the trail next
to the lake the bird was fishing right at the water's edge along with the
Bonaparte's and Ring-billed Gulls - maybe 50-75 feet from us!  It would be
an easy picture with a point-n-shoot camera with a little zoom.



Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
