Mike Austin and I took my boat out of Roseland Park in Baytown today and
headed to the mouth of Cedar Bayou and Cedar Point trying to get out there
before the winds got up. When we got to the sand/shell bar off Cedar Point we
found the tide down enough to get out and walk around. We were able to
find Lesser Black-backed Gulls (2), Thayer's Gulls(2 first winter) and a First
winter or possibly second winter Great Black-backed Gull, along with what
we think is a first winter California Gull. I have not great pictures of
all but the Lesser Black-backed Gulls. I would like some of you gull
connoisseurs to look at the suspected California first winter and either
confirm or
say no for us. Bird was brown and had a long slender pink bill with a
black tip and was lighter on the throat. You will notice in that picture there
is the first or second winter Great Black-backed gull behind and just to
the right.
We essentially found nothing of great interest in Cedar Bayou or on the
dump site today but it was not for trying. Everything we found today was in
Chambers Co.
