Observation details
Originally reported as a Western Gull. However, others identified it as a LBBG from photos. I had no idea, and didn't even consider LBBG at the time. The bird was viewed from the gravel lot between the Aqua Golf parking lot and the business complex. It was fairly close in, sitting on the cable between two buoys. After I got on it, it sat there for about 15 minutes preening. Finally it flew off north with some other gulls and was not seen again. Life bird, and I believe the first county record.
