Just a very quick note... Yesterday Dan Symonds found a first winter California Gull at Lake Kirby. The bird spent most of its time on the west side of the lake, but was also seen flying on the north side above the dam, and down the east side of the lake. I was able to obtain good photographs of this individual. If you want to chase the bird, I strongly recommend a vehicle with some clearance. You'll need to enter the lake on the east side, off of Maple St. You can then go north and make your way across the dam, and then go to the west side. If you should see the bird, I would be interested in hearing updates. Good luck! -- Jay Packer jay@xxxxxx (sent from my phone) Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
