Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Andrew S. Fix is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] I ruled out other gulls, especially A [sic] young Herring Gull (1st yr) because of the location of the white (belly & wings) as well as the deep rowing flight. In addition, I had the opportunity to observe the Pomarine Jaegers earlier this fall at the same location and the markings were similar, except this bird was darker with a white belly. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:40:00/14:40:25.
Occurrence Status present
Field Number 1988-23
Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: Overcast, windy [...] a 20x Bushnell scope [...] The lighting was fairly uniform while the bird was flying since it was in the center of the lake and not backlit as it was when it was sitting alone.
