Observation details
Had heard one a while before, but at @ 350 PM one of them came flying low over the west edge of the landfill and sent all the birds into the air, except for some of the Crows. It made repeated passes over the next 5 minutes or so. Dark head, unbanded tail, white underwings and dark wrist spots, with dark rear edge to wings. Most of the gulls took flight and did not return, but continued flying towards the west, probably back to the lake. @ 100 more gulls were seen later more towards the center of the landfill. The hawks were seen to land in a tree west of the landfill and were still there @ 15 minutes later.
