John Herman has reminded me that a photo of a California gull, taken by Bob Royse, appeared on the cover of the Spring 2000 issue of the Ohio Cardinal. This third-year bird was found on the beach at Caesar Creek SP on 5/13/2000 and was seen through the 18th. *This* is the southernmost Ohio record, and I am embarrassed, having been editor at the time, that I forgot it, and evidently it occurred too late to make Peterjohn (2001). There are May records for Kentucky and Mississippi, too.
