Black-tailed Gull in Tacoma WA

[Gord]

Bruce and Joanne just got back from a trip in the states and enjoyed a Black-tailed Gull that has been seen in the Tacoma area of Washington State (Commencement Bay) for about a month. They've provided a link of some photos of this bird.

I look forward to seeing their complete photographic journal of their journey once they get it up!

Hmm, I wonder if it's the same bird that was in that area for a while two years ago. I note that the first photo in Ruth's Black-tailed Gull gallery is from 2009. She was there when some of us went to see it back then.

Stan, a Washington State birding friend of mine told me that yes, it is believed to be the same bird. Which of course, makes me wonder if it's the same bird that we saw in November 2008 in Comox, B.C.
