Jackie, you are right - it was 1984, I believe.

It was only after that record that birders on the west coast began to spot one on rare occasions. Jackie Chain St Louis County Jack Cowan wrote: Frank Holmes and Bill Rudden were on the Saddle Dam when they found the American Pippit in the rocks along the waterline. We saw the Slaty-backed Gull and a Long-tailed Duck from an observation platform beside the spillway. A group from Chicago also reported seeing the Glaucous-Winged Gull from the dam. Conveniently, a Lesser Black-backed Gull was near the Slaty-backed so everyone could see the differences between the two birds.
