Found what I believe to be a juvenile greater black-backed gull in a pond at the wind surfing area of the Padre Island National Seashore this afternoon. I noticed the bird because it was huge. White head, brown checked back, big black bill and pink legs. A first for me. Also a white-tailed hawk was very cooperative. Glad to see water in Paradise Pond again. A. D.
