Talk:Ross's gull

Spelling

Hey smart people, isn't "Ross's" spelt Ross' ? I think this whole page has misspelt ross' all in it

I figure that whatever the consensus in the scientific literature is, that's what the name is. (Even if it is misspelled by normal grammatical rules.) If someone can provide a reference either way, that would be helpful – and given that I personally don't know which way is right and the entire page has it spelled one way, I say leave it until someone can provide proof one way or the other. --BlackAndy 02:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I have proof that it is the Ross' Gull, see here: [1] 67.172.125.13 01:23, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

After some checking on Google, almost every site had it Ross's Gull, so I guess the Fresno Bee was wrong. 67.172.125.13 16:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Sighting in California

I edited the page to remove a second mention of the sighting in California, and added a note regarding the rarity of it being that far south to the first mention of that state. Given that this is likely to be a one-time event, I think this is sufficient for the page. --BlackAndy 02:52, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I heard about that also, so I added to it (going in to more detail in where it was sighted).Do you think anything else needs to be added? 67.172.125.13 01:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Just adding to the above, I found the article, which clearly states that it is the Ross' Gull, so I am going a head with the changes. 67.172.125.13 01:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
