Hi all,
A big thanks to Scott Somershoe and Chris Sloan for pointing out that the
black-backed gull seen at Chickamauga Dam (Hamilton Co.) on 8/31/14 is actually
a Great Black-backed Gull, not Lesser Black-backed (LBBG) as originally
reported. They noted that the mantle is quite dark for the US subspecies of
LBBG and at this age LBBG should not have pink feet. Also noted was the bulky
size and large bulbous-tipped bill, all of which point to Great Black-backed.
The ID has been corrected on the eBird checklist. If you wish to view the
photos again, the link is below:

Good Birding!
