[cobirds] RE: ROSS'S GULL in Western Kansas

Thanks for the correction Scott.  

Colorado's last one was in November 2010, so I am guessing some Colorado people will be interested in trying to see this one in Kansas.

Hi Brandon,

 

Kansas has one previous record of Ross's Gull north of Manhattan. I believe it was seen at the outlet of Tuttle Creek Dam.

For those thinking of chasing today's bird, it was seen about 10 miles south of Dodge City.

Always rare anywhere nearby, an adult winter Ross's Gull was found in Western Kansas today, near Dodge City, Ford County.  Check reports on e-bird, I think this is a first state record for Kansas.
