Thank you. I have never seen a Bonaparte's with such bright orange red legs.
Next time I will write possible gull.

Tiny bill. I realized after I got home how rare it is, but I am quite sure.
I hope someone with a camera will run out there and get a picture.

This am about 10 there was a Ross's Gull on the sand spit at Broughton
Beach among the usual gulls. Those red orange legs really stand out. Also
gray mantle, black bill and thin gray mark behind the eye. There was also
an American Golden-Plover and 7 Dunlin on the spit. Later I found 1
Clarke's Grebe among the Westerns at Hayden Island. There was also at
least one Greater Scaup among the Lessers. They were in close to the
walkway so I was able to get good looks with my scope. Fabulous morning.
