Occurrence Remarks The documentation by Gerald White is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Betty Wood and Keith Blunt. | Elimination of similar species: [...] The bill appeared smaller than the bills of near-by Herring Gulls. The bird size was near the same size or smaller than the Herring Gulls. [...] I eliminated Glaucous Gull because it would have been larger and heavier looking and the bill would not have been all dark. | The original documentation form event lasted from 11:50:00/11:52:00.
Occurrence Status present
Field Number 1996-70
Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: [...] I was using 10X binoculars at about 100 yards. There was fog on the river.
