Records Committee review for rare bird sighting of Laughing Gull at Sandpiper Recreation Area at Saylorville Reservoir, 1987	Administrative records Correspondence Field notes	Bird watching Ornithology Ornithology--Societies, etc	1987-06-29	1993-09-07	Rare birds documentation form	Records Committee review of a Laughing Gull at Sandpiper Recreation Area at Saylorville Reservoir in Polk County, IA on June 29, 1987. Includes a record review document with votes, correspondence about the sighting, and a documentation form submitted to the committee.	Thompson, Dennis	Laughing Gull	Sandpiper Recreation Area	New Beach (sw of marina) Saylorville Lake Polk Co Ia	Sandy beach.	The documentation form by Dennis Thompson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. \| Elimination of similar species: Franklin's gull - bird had a completely different build. I had the advantage of a direct comparison with ring-billed. This bird was smaller, but still larger than a Franklin's. I would say it was half-way between a Ring-bill + Franklin's in size. White was almost non existent in the wingtips, both at rest + in flight. The most obvious difference was the structure of the bird. As soon as I saw it, I knew it wasn't a Franklin's. The long neck, size, long legs, long bill, + "pot-bellied" look caught my eye immediately. I guess another way to describe it was upright-looking. \| The original documentation form event lasted from 06:30:00/06:35:00.	Iowa Ornithologists' Union \| MS 166	10	18
