| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Another documentation form by Ann Johnson was submitted later. | Elimination of similar species: The small size, black "W" across the back of the wings, lack of a lighter "window" on the inner primaries, and slightly blunter wingtips eliminates all other gulls. | The original documentation form event lasted from 16:22:00/18:05:00. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Viewing conditions were very good with the sun behind me. Estimated viewing distance was mostly 300-400 yards, but I eventually got to within about 200 yards of the bird. I used a Buschnell 20-45x spotting scope and Bausch and Lomb 8x40 binoculars. |
