Archer Silverman and I went up to Union Reservoir yesterday and found all of the reported birds to continue - very cooperative Yellow-billed and Pacific Loons, one (possibly two!) Long-tailed Ducks, a female Barrow's Goldeneye, massive numbers of Common Mergansers and Cackling Geese (with a few Red-breasted Mergansers and Ross's Geese mixed in), and most notably a confiding Short-billed Gull. Wingtip photos were taken and an apparent lack of extensive black on the outer webs of p7 and p8 indicates that it is a genuine Short-billed with no suspicion of a Common Gull (pending review by Nick Komar, though). A very birdy and productive spot.
