Subject: LBBG, NOT 1-11-04

Message: Pomera and I went to the Bonuntiful Landfull today (Sunday) but did 
not find the Lesser Black-backed Gull.  We walked in from the southwest side 
of the landfill and could see the gulls on the ice pretty well with a scope 
and some up on the landfill hills, but no LBBG.  We scanned the gulls for 
over an hour, but no luck.  This is about the 6th time I've chased this 
bird--counting the previous year it was reported there--I hope it's not like 
my luck with the Rufous-crowned Sparrow!!

To access this area, turn west onto a snow-packed dirt-gravel before 
entering the landfill gate (you'll be on the north side of the canal) and go 
to the end where there is a parking lot for Farmington Bay WMA hunter 
access.  Head northeast out of the parking lot on the snow-packed, gated 
road--you can see the landfill--fairly easy walking.  It took us 15 minutes 
to get to the area where we had a view of the ice north of the landfill.

Please report if the gull is seen again.

Good birding y'all,
Julie
