Keeping the world posted on the Slaty-backed Gull

All -
Earlier today, I requested an update on the gull for some friends in New
York. Steve Sanford was kind enough to provide an update from today, but
he was the only one.
I really get bothered when I can't get electronic info on out of town "good
birds" in other areas. Please be courteous of all the birders that are
trying to gather enough information to make a decision as to whether or not
to travel many miles to chase this bird. I have heard that there were
scores, if not a hundred birders at the dam on some days.
Sometimes, someone local will "adopt" a good bird and take the
responsibility to keep the world posted on it's comings and goings (like
Jane Kostenko did with our MD Fork-tailed Flycatcher).
Please, keep the electronic communities (MD_Osprey and Birdchat) posted on
the status of this "good" bird.
Thanks.
Phil
