Hi All,
There was a good sized gull flock at Pilarcitos Creek Mouth this morning, which included a first year Glaucous Gull, a Glaucous x Glaucous Winged Hybrid and a Second Cycle Lesser Black Backed Gull.
I only saw the Lesser Black-backed Gull for about 30 seconds before the whole flock lifted up for some reason and although the group quickly settled back down, I never saw it again despite hanging around for over an hour. Fortunately I managed a couple of decent photos before loosing it.
I was joined by Malia and others a bit later but although the Glaucous Gull and Hybrid were seen, none of us re-located the Lesser Black-backed Gull.
Photos on my checklist, link below.
