Sabine's Gull



Folks,
        Simon Thompson and I ventured down to Lake Hickory in search of
Dwayne's gull.  We arrived at about 5:30 pm in an attempt to observe it's 6
PM scheduled arrival.  At about 5:40 PM Dwayne and his contacts arrived in
the pontoon boat and invited us to join them for the Lake Hickory Pelagic
trip. It was almost like catching a plane.   We headed out and for about and
hour, the bird was a no show.  We then doubled back towards the boat ramp
and way out, we saw the bird sitting on the water.
        To make a long story short, we were able to drift  within 25 feet of
the bird.  I do believe that we got some great photos of this great rarity.
Thank you Dwayne and crew.
Best regards,
Wayne
