Last Saturday, we found a Sabine’s Gull at Kokanee Park. This bird was an unusual visit. Some birders made a trip to the park to see it on Monday. To our surprise, it was still there yesterday (just below the spawning channel). It was spending its time to feed midst a long migration.
The Sabine’s Gull walks in the creek shallows on Wednesday morning.
It feeds on snippets.

On the same jaunt we saw a Savannah Sparrow just before it migrates south.
Incredible reflections!
What birding news you offer, Alistair. I think the Sabine wins the gull beauty contest; and I’ve never known of a “snippet” before! Must look it up, unless you want to tell.
