Nice pics Brandon!  Had I known you had 459 Colorado birds, I wouldn't have 
called you ;- )  

I am glad you said thanks to Loch, since I have not.  Loch ran to grab his 
scope to study a GULL, a huge step for him.  Even better, he determined the 
bird had a yellow orbital ring.  This shifted our thinking from Slaty-backed 
Gull to Western Gull, so thanks indeed! 

Let me make one more comment about Colorado birders in general.  Following the 
discovery and ID, everyone standing on the sandspit who had seen this bird to 
his/her satisfaction, spent the rest of his/her time trying to notify everyone 
in their address book.  Dozens and dozens of phone calls and text messages were 
made to everyone we could think of.  I thought that was pretty cool!
