Observation details
One adult, seen at various points from Otay Lakes Rd, both on the water and in flight, always at a considerable distance. Sightings at 7:04, 7:25, and 7:45, always just one bird. My most useful photos are from the last encounter, detected as the bird was in flight away from my poisiton, heading east. Small gull, but noticeably bigger than the BOGUs; black hood with bold white eye crescents (essentially a wide split eye ring); fairly dark gray back and wings, underwings light, wing tips in a white-black-white pattern.
