Hello!

This morning I saw a Heermann's Gull in second winter plumage at the Mukilteo
Lighthouse Park and thought the sighting might be of interest to Tweeters
since I don't usually see Heermann's Gulls at the park. I have seen them on
Whidbey Island before. This one was quite friendly and I was able to walk within
three feet of where it perched....waiting for treats with the rest of the
gulls. Alas, I had no treats with me this time. This individual was small, but
very handsome, I thought! There was also much newly deposited driftwood on the
beach!!

Cheers! Judy
