Great Black-backed Gull, Lk Loveland (Weld)

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

Janeal Thompson and I had an adult Great Black-backed Gull at Lake Loveland  (Weld) late yesterday (2/26) afternoon.  It was seen from the drawn down swim beach area in the nw corner feeding in a frenzy (presumably on shad schools near the south shore).  This huge, dark gull dwarfed all others around it which included a few Herrings.  No doubt about ID.  Flew off to the sw.  A bird to watch for.
