two (2) little gulls were observed off the west beach at headlands beach state park by jerry talkington, suzanne wagner, and me this morning (09/24/2007).  one bird had very dark underwings  and the other rather sooty-colored underwings.  the latter bird was probably a second-winter bird.  the birds came in from the east very close to shore, circled the beach once, and left out over the lake and headed west.
