I think they get Lesser BB regularly around the Walla Walla delta. I saw what
I assume was one on the Washington side at the McNary Dam last winter when I
was failing to find the Black-headed Gull. It was just a hair far off to be
certain, but there are not many mid-sized gulls with such dark backs.

Wow. I'm gullible enough to believe this. Hope some OBOLer can check it out.

Hello,
Most of our gulls here in the Lower Columbia Basin of southeast Washington
have moved out and we suspect they are down in the Kalama area feeding on
smelt. Be on the lookout for 1 Slaty-backed Gull, 4 Lesser Black-backed
Gulls,1 Iceland Gull(1st cycle), 2 Glaucous Gulls. 3 Thayers Gulls and
upwards of 120 Herring Gulls. Good luck in your search. We have seen 12
species of gulls here this winter due to a large Shad kill.
