Hello All,

I saw the Glaucous Gull this evening (5:00-5:15) from Browns Island. As I
approached the observation platform there were a number (150-200) of gulls
circling. I picked out the bird in flight. It was very visible even without
bins. Once on the observation platform I waited as the gulls settled and
after a few minutes the Glaucous came in to land on the rocks below. I
hadn't seen it in flight before, and was able to notice that it's a couple
of it's outer primaries were missing.

Although I haven't seen the Ash-Throated Flycatcher this week I know it was
seen on Tuesday.

Arun Bose,
Richmond, VA
