spent a couple hours this morning at Ash Lake (end of Tri-city road)
in Harris County.  There was a striking 3rd winter Great Black-backed
Gull, 4 Thayer's Gulls (one adult and 3 first winters), and one first
winter Glaucous Gull.  The GBBG was mostly on the Chambers side but
occasionally flew to the Harris side. I was able to show the GBBG and
Glaucous to Ray Porter when he arrived. Ron Weeks refound the GBBG
later in the day.

We have been seeing previously a first winter and a second winter
GBBG, so this 3rd winter bird means that there have been three
different GBBGs in the immediate area this season. Maybe this one came
in on the last cold front.
