Yesterday afternoon I spotted what I suspected to be a 1st winter California Gull on the west side of Kirby Lake hanging out with about 75 Ring-billed Gulls on the shore. I called Jay Packer, he and his wife Amy joined be and Jay confirmed it. We watched it for about an hour while Jay got some great photos of it. It was a lifer for me and a new one for him in Taylor County.
