Mike Hendrickson just called to report that as of 2:00 PM today
(11/30) the Slaty-backed Gull is still posing for portraits at Canal
Park. Mike was able to obtain a couple of in flight shots that will
hopefully show this species' diagnostic "string of pearls" produced by
whitish supapical tongue tips in the middle primaries (p5 though p7 or
p8).
Thanks to Karl Bardon for refinding this bird and getting the word out
so that other birders could admire this Siberian gull.
