Observation details
***First county record! First cycle bird loafing with 8 other gulls on the point about 100 yards west of the boatlaunch. Intermediate in size between nearby Ring-billed & Herring Gulls. Dark overall with pale head/face. Head more rounded than Herring with smaller black bill. In flight, dark inner primaries & broad dark tail-band. Sat for about 10 minutes before flying in a huge circle all the way around the edge of the lake until it disappeared behind the point, last seen over near the dam. Despite checking the dam and then returning to Buckhorn, could never refind the bird. Could totally end up loafing on the point again tomorrow. Photos
