Observation details

** Very Rare - continuing individual found by Charlie Karrs early this AM. Small,light gray mantled gull; intermediate in size comparison with BOGU and RBGU. Tough to spot with all the similar looking Bonnies, but with Mike Gullos tactful eye picked up amongst flock loafing. Distinct slightly longer orange bill seen well when it took flight, dark underwings and reddish legs. Foraged for a spell, loafed some more and was cooperative and content for many to view. Outstanding find Charlie, and thanks to JK for getting out RBA. Lifer!! Woohoo!! Photos TBA.
