Observation details
*Rare. Immature bird - orange legs, orange bill tipped with black, brown horizontal wing bar when folded, slightly smaller than LAGU (vs much smaller for BOGU). White leading edge to the wing in flight. Also, unlike Bonaparte's behavior, it was attracted to a person throwing seed (duck feed?) for the gulls, creating a brief feeding frenzy (I don't think the gulls ate much of the food but were attracted to the commotion). Flew in and then roosted for about 15 minutes with other gulls roosting north of yacht club. It was pretty skittish, and flew out into the bay when too many dogs came by.
