| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Richard Hollis is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Potential other observer includes Thomas H. Kent. | Elimination of similar species: [...] I looked at my field guides + realized that I was not sure if I could distinguish Franklins from Laughing Gulls in their last summer plummage [sic] before becoming adults. I am not sure of the identification. At present I lean toward Laughing due to 1. lack of obvious white on wings 2. Size of dark patches @ wing tips 3. Dark color of mantle 4. The white tail rules out all the younger birds. | The original documentation form event lasted from approximately 10:00:00/10:05:00. |
