West Haven Gulls
After Nick Bonomo's (www.shorebirder.com) great find of a CALIFORNIA GULL* on 4/18, I decided to look for it myself on 4/19 with no luck. But I did end up seeing a good amount of gulls. All were Herring and Ring-bills, but I got some good photos. 97% of the gulls I saw were all in adult breeding plumage. I was surprised to see 3 juvenile Ring-bills. All of these gulls were found at Bradley Point and surrounding areas.
