| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation by William and Rebecca Otto is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] We eliminated the possibility of the gull being an immature Bonaparte's gull by the following criterion: 1. Leg color. The gulls legs and feet were entirely black. Bonaparte's gull have reddish legs. This was apparent at great distance on the immature Bonaparte's gulls present. 2. Primary feathers. The gull had black outer primaries and gray inner primaries. Immature Bonaparte's having some obvious white inner primaries.) 3. Behavior. Although this may seem rather unscientific, the gull not joining the groups of feeding or loafing gulls present seems significant to me. | The original documentation form event lasted around 30 minutes. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: [...] The gull was first observed hovering 30' overhead allowing us an excellent view of its black legs and feet. [...] We observed the gull with 7x35 mm binoculars for 30 minutes, most of which the gull spent flying. It did land alone on the west edge of the NW pond and remained on the shore for 5 minutes. |
