Hi All,
This morning while checking through the fairly small gull flock on the beach at Pilarcitos Creek Mouth, the Lesser Black-backed Gull that Malia and I photographed yesterday flew in off the ocean. I did not see the Royal Tern that I saw briefly here yesterday, but good chance it's still in the area, after checking my photos it appears to be the same Tern found on the Ano Nuevo cbc and later seen at Gazos Creek State Beach.
Worth noting the gulls were not really visible from the bluff this morning, but right on the ocean edge, so best to get down on the beach to look for the LBBG.
Photos from yesterday and today links below.
