I found the BLACK-HEADED GULL hanging out with MEW GULLS and
a couple RING-BILLS on the bay pilings across from Tapiola Park
and just down the block from the DQ.

The last time I saw this bird was Feb 8 though I continued looking
daily for about a week and weekly since then.  Its disappearance
coincided with the drop in Mew Gulls in mid-February when they all
moved out onto the river for the smelt runs.  Mew Gull numbers along
the bayfront began to rebound last week and the Black-headed Gull
was relocated yesterday by Dan and Anne Heyerly.

I have pictures I'll post later.
