“Accidental and very rare. The Wyoming record is based

and occasional stragglers may be looked for.” (Knight. ) 
Larus argentatus: Herring Gull. 
Apparently increasing in numbers. Reported by Mr. Rich- 
ard as being a common summer resident at Yellowstone 
Lake and in Big Horn Basin. There is a specimen in Chey- 
enne which is said to have been taken on a lake near there.

this species as a summer resident.”” ( Knight.)
