I had an adult California gull at Conneaut this morning between 9:00 and
10:00. It was amongst a large group of gulls on the sand spit. The gate
still closed so I had to walk out for a closer look and positive ID. The
problem is there were so many gulls you still could not get that close
without scaring them up. I was able to get a brief, but diagnostic look at
it before it landed amongst a dense group of birds. I tried to relocate it
later from across the harbor but was unable to relocate it. Other birds of
note were 3 glaucous gulls, 1 Iceland gull, 2 lesser black-backed gulls, and
a long-tailed duck. I also saw 2 pectoral sandpipers on the sand spit. I
did not see the Eurasian wigeon or the black-headed gull. I saw only 1
Bonaparte's gull.
