Don called me and said that the gull was actively flying near the marina off the fisherman's pier at the Cherry Creek Marina yesterday. It was an adult gull, about the size of a Ring-billed Gull, with a black tail band, dark wing tips, yellow legs. The tip of the bill was black and he could not see any red spot at the very tip of the bill. Eye color not mentionned. He saw it with binoculars and did not have a scope to look through when it landed briefly on the ice. This would be the first Colorado record of this rare gull, which breeds in east Asia. I hope that it can be seen and photographed today. I will post any additional information I learn. Joe Roller, Denver
