Little Gull update

["Cliff and Lisa Weisse" <october at ida dot net>]

The Little Gull is still in the same location at Island Park dam this 
morning.  If it's foraging it's hard to miss.  If it's roosted it's 
usually near the terns but once today it lnded on a small island by 
itself.  It essentially looks like an adult except for the following.  
The greater coverts are slightly darker than the rest of the upperparts 
but you have to look closely to see the difference.  There are some 
small faded dark markings on the upper side of the primaries and the 
underwing coverts are paler than the rest of the under side of the wing.
