Observation details
Same bird as previously reported on TEXBIRDS, Dallas and Fort Worth Audubon websites, and eBird. 1 first year bird on the spillway from ~6:55 to ~7:15. All field markings evident (strong dark M on upperside of wings and back, dark collar on nape, all black bill, black legs, size approximately that of RBGU on the spillway). The bird is roosting on the lake at night and flying to the spillway with other gulls at sunrise to preen and bathe before taking off to the southeast and returning after sunset. Three birders present this morning (including myself) obtained decent photographs. This is a state review species and the first BLKI in the North-Central Texas region in ~10 years.
