Near the end of a rather rainy day at SCNWA and Mitchell Bay area, Penny, Emily
and I decided to drive up the river to try for the King Eider but could not
locate it. As I was scanning the gulls, ducks etc flying upriver a juvenile
Sabine's Gull flew into my scope view - the closest I've ever seen. I yelled it
immediately and Lance A. and his companion jumped out of their car to join me.
We enjoyed this bird for several minutes from ~ 4.20 pm. A wonderful way to
end a rather dreary day. Cheers! Maris
