[Ontbirds]Hillman Marsh - Laughing Gull

[Chris Kimber]

This afternoon at 230 an adult alternate Laughing Gull was present in the
gull/tern flock resting on the flats in the shorebird habitat at Hillman
Marsh.  The bird was easily viewed from the usual Mottled Duck lookouts.
The bird flushed up with everything else in the cell when an adult Bald
Eagle soared overhead, and I did not notice it reappear, though I do not
rule out the possibility that it did.

20+ Short-billed Dowitcher, 1 Semipalmated Sandpiper and the continuing
Wilson's Phalarope were also present at that time.
