Hi all, Jacob Drucker and I birded Veterans Memorial Pier this morning. There were few gulls on the pier itself, but many in the surrounding waters. We located the immature BLACK-HEADED GULL just south of the pier, in water close to the rocks. It gave incredible views. When we left it had drifted ~100 m further south, but still very visible from the path. There were several Bonaparte's Gulls around too, plus scattered Purple Sandpipers. No sign of the adult gull.
