Notes: After hearing reports of a Mew Gull at Harrison Lake, we bolted from the Bridger Raptor Festival, and shased the bird I scanned and searched the lake, and we worked on our Ring-billed Gull ID skills Found one juvenile Herring Gull I eventually spied an immature gull that had a gracile, darkish head, an all-dark tail, and a distinctive dorsal wing pattern It was an immature Mew Gull
