Black-headed Gull - Yes

[Kathryn Davis]

BHGU was present yesterday at Long Sands Beach at mid-afternoon.  Thanks to a very helpful high schooler, Patrick Gilbert, who first spotted it at the most northern part of the beach, I was able to get some good looks at it.  

It was hanging out with a small group of BOGUs, feeding in the last ripple of the waves.  There were tons of RBGUs right in front of it but the BHGU stayed at the edge of the waves moving right to left and back again feeding.   The flock was spooked and moved further south twice about half way towards the Sun & Turf restaurant. But, we were able to find it again each time.  It gave us lots of great looks.

Also, had a nice, very dark, Peregrine Falcon fly down the beach north to south.
