In the afternoon of 5 January 2010, I was looking out my dining room window with binoculars at gulls feeding on cannery waste in the channel that runs in front of town. Among the Mew and Glaucous-winged Gulls, I saw a small, dark gull that I knew was something very different. My first thought was that it might be a Kamchatka Mew Gull, but then I saw that it was smaller than the Mew Gulls with which it was flying, and I realized it was probably either a Franklin’s Gull or a Laughing Gull. I asked Molly (MacIntosh) to set up a telescope while I continued to keep binoculars on the bird. When I looked at the bird through the scope, I saw that it had a mostly gray head, very dark wings and back, stark white rump/uppertail coverts, a broad black tail band, and a very large black bill, making it a Laughing Gull. Molly and I grabbed our optics and drove down to Fuller’s Boat Yard, in front of our house, for a closer view of the bird. We found that it had moved down the channel to the northeast, following the cannery waste stream. We drove down that way and were able to get good scope looks, and digiscoped the bird on the water. It was raining hard, so we went back to the house, I dropped off Molly, and called a number of local people about the bird. An hour later a group of us re-found the bird feeding at the Global Seafood waste stream flowing past Fuller’s Boat Yard at a flood tide. First fully documented (photo) state record.
