Blanich (first Minn. photo record; there are still no specimens); unfortunately the bird had been present since about 12-1 according to local fishermen, leaving about 12-20, with none of the Twin Cities listers able to get there in time. | |||||

| 72:164 | 2000-03-13 | near Hastings | Washington | (record #2000-18, vote 3-4). The entire description of this gull only includes mention of its entirely white plumage and its black legs and feet. If correct, this indicates the bird was an adult, which would be most unusual, especially at this time of year. Accordingly, the majority was skeptical of this record, especially since the documentation does not discuss or preclude an albino gull of some species. In addition, the bill color of the gull was not noted, and the leg/foot color may not have been accurately seen, since the gull was observed at a range of 100+ yards without a spotting scope. | Not Accepted | ||||
