[RJHSHRIKE@xxxxxxx]

A 1st winter Lesser Black-backed Gull was found on Nickajack Lake this 
afternoon.  It was seen from the New Hope side of the lake at the parking lot 
near 
the dam.  I observed the bird near the orange and white bouys nearest the dam 
for about 45 mins.  It was resting on the water with 25 Herring Gulls and 
several hundred Ring-bills.  I never saw the bird fly but it was in great light 
and 
I had great comparsion with the Herrings.  Sibleys has the best pictures of 
1st winter birds.
