Greetings, I just received word this evening that the Black-tailed Gull WAS OBSERVED today, in the river marina (can be seen from sites C and D) in the early morning hours, by Jeff and Sandy Fagan. See location maps and details at www.northnw.wordpress.com. Here is their account: "We saw the bird at 7:40 AM at point C. Bird was sitting on pier closest to the road just to the left of the yellow flotation devise in the marina area. It flew in, stayed for about 5 minutes and then flew out. To our knowledge, there were no other reliable positive reports the balance of the day, and we were there until dark. Mid afternoon, there was a Lesser BB Gull on the blue building roofs that received some attention. Same yesterday--might have been the same bird" JB Jen Brumfield Cleveland, OH [log in to unmask] ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
