Since I wasn't sure if there would be any other photos of the "string-
of-pearls" pattern, I already posted an image of this on the MOU
website's Recently Seen page. Kim Eckert

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.
