Correction: Quite a few observers forwarded documentation on the
Sandgates, MD Kelp Gull, especially photos.
However, I have NO submissions (except for two slides from Marshall) for
the Conowingo Dam putative Slaty-backed Gull. I think everyone was scared
off by all the discussion of it being a possible hybrid. As Marshall
pointed out, even if it is a hybrid, it likely was hatched in the Aleutians
and it is still a significant avian event for Maryland. Please, please
forward any notes, photos or other documentation. We want to have this
information in our files. We'll figure out how to review it later.
Thanks in advance.
