>From the Seattle Audubon website: Ross’s Gull has been recorded only about two dozen times in the Lower 48, from coast to coast and as far south as Maryland, Missouri, and California. Washington’s only Ross’s Gull visited McNary Dam on the Columbia River, on both the Oregon and Washington sides, from 27 November to 1 December 1994. Oregon had one previous record, at Yaquina Bay from 18 February to 1 March 1987. Idaho also has a single record, from 21 to 27 January 1998 at the American Falls Reservoir. The first Ross’s Gull to be found in temperate North America visited Victoria, British Columbia, from 27 October to 9 November 1966. This is still the only record for the province.
Woohoo for those of us who've seen the latest appearance! Thanks to all who've made it possible. Saw it this morning at about 9:30 as Brandon Percival described. Then again this afternoon with the 4:00 pm crowd. Gary Brower Englewood, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
