[Mich-listers] Laughing Gull yes, Allegan, 6/6

[michael overway]

Thank you to Jon for finding this bird.  I was able to view the bird at around 
7:15 until about 7:45 this evening.  It was about 125' north of the boardwalk 
that is at the north end of the north parking lot and within 40' of the water's 
edge at Oval Beach in Saugatuck.  The bird was loosely hanging with other 
gulls.  It was not spooked by passers by and never took to flight while I was 
there.    


FYI: While the bird didn't act ill, it had a bloodied appearence about it's 
vent.  Some of the feathers in this area were stained reddish, some were matted 
and some possibly missing. 


Good birding,
Mike
