[cobirds] Pueblo Reservoir White gull 11/03-04

Hi all,

Lin Lilly found and photographed this gull (three photos) at Pueblo Reservoir's South Shore Marina tires yesterday.

Several birders looked at these photos yesterday evening and this morning, and they thought the bird appeared to be a Ring-billed Gull.

Since I wasn't able to see the bird yesterday, I went over to the South Shore Marina tires today, and I was able to see this bird from 12:30pm-1250pm.  Today, when I looked at the bird, I thought the shape and size appeared the same as the nearby Ring-billed Gulls.

A very cool looking gull.  Thanks to Lin Lilly for finding it, and getting some photos of it.
 
During my brief time out at the South Shore Marina area at Pueblo Reservoir today, I also was able to see two Common Loons, one Pacific Loon, and a small flock of Snow and Blue Geese.

Good birding,

Brandon Percival -- Pueblo West, CO
