The Slaty-backed Gull was still present on the N. side of the Breakwater behind
the North House Folk School and Dockside Fish Market at 7:30 p.m. on Monday
evening, July 24. The sun was just right and with the scope from the dock the
red/pink orbital ring around the eye was visible and as he/she lifted up to
drop behind the breakwall we were also able to see the white "Pearl" markings
on the under side of the outer wing tips as are described in Sibley and by Kim
E in his email. We had talked to Molly and Ken Hoffman earlier in the evening
and Molly told us that the Slaty -backed had an eye injury from a fight with
the herring Gulls. We could see that it was the left eye that was injured but
it may be recovering. He didn't open it all the way but the eyeball looked OK.
