| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Babs & Loren Padelford is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: At rest, the bird had a very slender and streamlined appearance, not stocky like that of a Franklin's Gull. The head had no trace of a dark hood. The head was the same color as the rest of the body except for lighter areas around bill, on forehead and top of the head. The bill seemed longer and more curved than a Franklin's, but difficult to say with no Franklin's for comparison. | The original documentation form event lasted from 10:15:00/11:05:00. |
