| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Ann Johnson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The primary identification was done through the size and shape of the head. Other similar gulls do not share this "dove head." The adult was confirmed by the silvery underwings, not shared by similarly gray-mantled gulls, and the first year bird was confirmed by the uniformity of its body color. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:40:00/15:55:00. |
