Sea lions kicked up a close to shore feeding frenzy of gulls. Among them was a
very small gull with an "M" on the wings, but not as neat and clean as on a
kittiwake. There was not a white wedge as on a Bonie's. Black tip to the
tail. Pale wing linings, which threw me off because I forgot that 1st winter
LITTLE GULL doesn't have the dark linings--I kept thinking it was a disheveled
kittiwake. "But it's so small!"
Superb viewing this morning, even though or because the wind was out of the SE.
That would also explain the complete lack of tubenoses.
