Hi all,
I checked for the California Gull between 3:00 and 4:00 Friday
afternoon. It was not seen.
This bird is a classic adult. So that will help anyone looking for
it. The first thing I noted when I saw it was the mantle was noticeably
darker than the Herring and Ring-billed Gulls. I saw this with my binoculars
at about 100 yards when I first saw it. The legs are yellowish green, and
the bill is yellow, with a red spot on the gonydeal angle, a black spot
forward of that towards the tip, which is ivory in color. A classic California
Gull bill.
I failed to mention all these particulars last night.
I bird at this spot frequently and will post if I see it again.
