Observation details
A flock of seven nonbreeding birds was on the shore of the "lake" by the barn at the split in the trail. Field notes: "Light tannish/white, white face, big dark eye, shoulder smudge, short, dark bill, dark legs". Further examination of photographs revealed a smudgy breast band, clean white belly and rump, no obvious spotting on wings, and finally, a bird flapped in a picture, revealing the black armpit. Six of the birds are shown in the pictures below with Mew Gulls (the seventh bird is very far to the left, out of frame).
