Leaving Boulder Res. yesterday I stopped by Lagerman Res. and ran into Mike Blatchley. Mike turned me on to a gull slightly larger than Ring-billed Gulls around it. It had dark streaking around the head, neck and breast. The light was getting bad, but I think it might have been a Thayer's Gull. I didn't seem to have a large bill like a Herring Gull.
Mike also pointed out a plover to me that he said has been around a few days. It flew once and I did not notice the black underwings like a Black-bellies Plover and didn't seem as white underneath as the photos I looked at last night. It might be worth a look because I believe it could be good for an American Golden Plover . Maybe Mike had better looks today. Also, there might have been three Mew Gull s at Boulder Res. yesterday. Is this possible? The two I saw showed the larger white area on their primaries like a Mew Gull should and they were smaller than the ringers and larger than the Franklin's Gulls. While I was retrieving my dog, a third bird flew in that looked about the smae size, but then the wind picked up and I couldn't even keep my scope steady. Hopefully I will get better looks at some on CA tomorrow.
