Observation details
Rarity, unexpected, but probably same individual reported a few days earlier at Point Pinos. Seen well for 30 minutes by both observers using binocs and scope. First cycle bird roosting on beach, at water's edge, down coast side of the river, in mixed gull flock. Slightly smaller than nearby California Gulls. Identified by rich brown plumage, frosted back, whitish face, white eye-arcs, and bi-colored bill (with pale tip). Dark wing tips and tail band visible in flight. Six photos attached and others available.
