Excited bird watchers flocked to the old oil docks at Richmond Beach this weekend.

The excitement was caused by the appearance of a swallowtail gull. This is a rare appearance for this species in the Puget Sound area.

The bird was first spotted Saturday at Carkeek Park by a well known bird watcher. The next two days it took up residency at Richmond Beach. 

It is a large bird. Its bill is black with a whitish tip. The eyes are circled by a red ring. Breeding pairs have color changes from non-breeding pairs.

It raises its young in cliff colonies in the Galapagos Islands off the western coast of South America. Its appearance here is very unusual.

It's also said to be nocturnal, hunting at night over open water - another anomaly, although it was frustrating birders here by swooping out over open water.

Our little local celebrity must fly to a different beat in its route selection.
