Subject: Lesser Black-backed Gull found!
Thanks to Steven Romo for posting this great find!

As he said, the bird was at the start of the dam right after you pass the
first parking lot entering the park. And lo and behold it was there (with
about a hundred Ring-billed Gulls)!

My husband and I observed the bird at 10:30 yesterday morning (we looked
earlier, but it wasn't there yet). After the first nonproductive pass, we
moved on to the marina and saw a Black Vulture on the way plus an Osprey.

There were a couple of terns on the buoys just past the marina office that
I thought (originally) were Gull-Billed Terns, but I'm pretty sure they
were nonbreeding Forster's Terns. My photos are too grainy for a positive
ID.
