Franklin Gull on Pacific Coast of British Columbia
Online Full Text
Franklin Gull on Pacific Coast of British Columbia.-The Franklin Gull (Larus pipizca.n) is sufficiently rare.on the Pacific Coast to warrant recording of additional occurrences. On August 23, 1952, I noticed a different gull in company with Bonaparte and Short-billed gulls at Point Holmes near Comox, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, but could not make sure of identification. However, the bird was still there on August 29 when I was able to look it over and to see the diagnostic markings. I was quite satisfied it was a young Franklin Gull. Munro and Cowan (A Review of the Bird Fauna of British Columbia, 1947:119) give only three records for British Columbia, all in the interioi of the Province.-THEED PEARSE, Comox, British Columbia, January 12, 1953
