Here's a link to the article:
http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2009/aug/11/birds-boulder-appearance-still-mystery/
Ted is quoted, but I wish he would have said something like, "The bird
was definitely a Slaty-backed Gull and should be added to all
pertinent life, year, state, county, and locality lists." ;-)
Seriously, though, it was a very nice surprise to see the bird get
follow-up coverage! (The camera also covered the sighting at the time.)
Enjoy- Bill Schmoker, Longmont

> Hello, all.

> There's a nice article in yesterday's Daily Camera (Boulder
> newspaper) on the mystery gull found by Christian Nunes last fall at
> Six Mile Reservoir. ("Bird's Boulder Appearance Still a Mystery,"
> Daily Camera, 11 August 2009, page 8C.) This "mystery gull" is, of
> course, the bird that may or may not have been a Slaty-backed Gull.

> The article is accompanied by a great image of the bird itself
> (photograph by Bill Schmoker). There's also a so-so photo of Glen

> only so much you can do with subject matter like that... :-)

> Thanks to the Daily Camera, and especially to staff writer Brandon
> Schatsiek, for giving extensive coverage to this interesting bird.
