Here's a link to the article: http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2009/aug/11/birds-boulder-appearance-still-mystery/
Ted is quoted, but I wish he would have said something like, "The bird was definitely a Slaty-backed Gull and should be added to all pertinent life, year, state, county, and locality lists." ;-) Seriously, though, it was a very nice surprise to see the bird get follow-up coverage! (The camera also covered the sighting at the time.)
