Sabine's Gull
Observation details
The adult Sabine's Gull that was discovered on Aug. 25 and seen again on Aug. 26 was still present this morning. Initially it was in Pond 1 and later flew to Pond 5. I got excellent diagnostic photos of the gull. The gull had a complete dark gray hood with a black lower border, black bill with a very obvious bright yellow tip, dark eyes with red orbital ring; nape of neck, breast, belly and undertail coverts pure white; back and wings gray; secondaries and tertials with white trailing edges; primaries black with white tips. When in flight, showed distinctive dark "M" pattern on upper wings.
