Richard Stevens:
I made it out to Aurora Reservoir this morning. Nothing uncommon was at the swim beach area so I walked the dam. Several Snow Geese, a Ross's Goose and Greater White-fronted Goose were below. Most of the gulls were too far away to identify (looking into the sun).
A return to the swim beach cove did not find any uncommon birds. A Black Scoter way off near the distant shoreline caught my attention. Then I went to lunch. After lunch, a return to the swim beach was productive.
This time the gulls there included a Great Black-backed Gull, three Lesser Black-backed Gulls and two Thayer's Gulls.
I moved to the picnic area north of the swim beach. While searching for the Black Scoter I noticed the Gull being reported as an adult Slaty-backed Gull swimming in cove that was not visible while I was standing farther south.
