[cobirds] Western Gull provenance confirmed (Washington County)

On Wednesday, I photographed the cooperative immature Western Gull at the west end of Prewitt Reservoir in Washington County. I believe it was originally reported by Steve Mlodinow on June 17. It's left leg is banded with a white plastic band over a metal band. Russell Bradley, Farallon Program Leader for Point Blue Conservation Science, has confirmed that the WEGU was banded there (Farallon Islands off the coast of San Francisco, CA) as a chick in 2015. Photo attached.
