[Maine-birds] Re: Slaty-backed Gull - YES

CORRECTION

Further investigation of photos revealed that what we called a Slaty-backed Gull in the field appears to actually be a Lesser Black-backed Gull. Our bird lacked the black in the tail and had a thinner white trailing edge than the Slaty-backed shows. 

Many apologies! A major lapse in judgement.
