KC Childs and Josh Kreitzer found a Mew Gull on the Provo Christmas Bird Count. KC spotted the gull and quickly identified it and Josh got some pictures through the scope. The Bird was in the large pond on the north end of the Sleepy Ridge Golf golf course.  (Near Powell's Slough and the waste treatment plant in the area at the west end of University Parkway in Orem).
