I got back from a short trip to Chicago and Miller Beach on the Indiana shore, which was unusually slow but managed to see distant Snow buntings, Scoters and a Peregrine over downtown Chicago and a call I suspect was a flyover redpoll( I only had 2 hours to bird.) I went to the Falls of the Ohio this morning and the Indiana "harbor." I found almost no activity on the river, but a few gulls at the Falls. I am starting to believe I had a California Gull in with some ring-bills. I just couldn't get enough light on the bird and don't have a powerful enough scope. It seemed to be slightly darker on the back and have a good amount of white on the secondary edges but I had to leave for work and did not think to factor in the dark eye. I knew something looked a little different about it but I couldn't place it. I think maybe it was the eye throwing me off and didn't even realize it. I have had so little luck or experience with gulls. If anyone has a chance before the day is over they should go and see if it still there. I do not know its migration patterns so I might be wrong but... Falls of the Ohio/Indiana shore 8:30-10:10am Pied-bl.
