Media notes
The time-date stamp on the photo is incorrect; I'd forgotten to reset the camera after travelling to a different time zone.
Observation details
There was a remarkable flock of Bonaparte's Gulls foraging on the beach, floating out in the shallows of Samish Bay, and loafing on small rocks just offshore. I counted several times, and kept getting 73. I took a few photos, which I might upload in a few weeks. A small percentage of these gulls were still showing black caps.
