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.
