Dan Lory reports that the Ross's Gull has returned to Chicago's Park 566, which is between Rainbow Beach and Steelworker's Park.
He had it flying around the "bend," which is where the park turns to the south. 
Updates will be shared on IBET, too, especially if it settles in somewhere.
To access Park 566, park on Farragut Drive just north of South Shore Drive. There is a gate that shows the entrance to the path.
You would park at the same place should it come back to the south beach at Rainbow.

It was seen briefly from the area Joe described then left to the north. People are looking now up and down the lakefront and no one has seen it again yet.

I may be able to go down to the lake front this afternoon once I’m done giving a presentation. If there’s a specific area needing coverage to see if we can locate it, let me know.
