The 1st winter Ivory Gull reported from the
CBBT on 9/12/98 now seems to be in question. On the
same day two other observers in separate groups
reported seeing a "dyed" or "oiled" tern at the same location.
The following is the original text:
"It was seen feeding between islands 3 & 4 with
terns and Laughing Gulls. Note - it shows a lot of
sooty color across the entire head down to the chest."
If you are in the area, please double check any
birds matching the above description. While Ivory
Gull may have seemed out of the question, it is my
policy to get this type of information out to the public
to be either confirmed or proven not to be.
Updates will be posted as soon as other info is
available.
