COBirders,

Glenn Walbek and I found what appears to be the "Prewitt" WESTERN GULL at Jackson Lake State Park today.  Steve Mlodinow originally found the bird back in June and it was seen at Prewitt at least through late September.  We only had distant views of the bird today but the one thing that really stuck out was the bands on the left leg.  There are some distant photos attached to the eBird report:


The other bird of note was an adult Iceland/Thayer's Gull.  Unfortunately, we were just too far and had poor lighting to figure this bird out for sure.

We also saw the continuing RED-THROATED LOON at Barr Lake Sate Park.

Walt Wehtje and I birded Jackson Lake today and finally refound the banded Western Gull in the northwest corner of the reservoir, hanging out near Herring Gulls and pelicans.
