Huh? For the record I had nothing to do with the discovery or the identification of the 1974 Ross's Gull, although I saw it several times after word got out, like a thousand other birders. I was only birding a little over a year at the time. I also saw the Ros's Gull at Niles Pond many years later found by Dick Forster.
