Hi Tweeters,

Bill and I did an early 4th of July walk at Discovery Park this
morning. Among a group of about 30 gulls on the beach north of the
Lighthouse was a breeding plumaged Heerman's Gull. (We got pictures.) At
first I wasn't even sure what it was because I've never seen a Heerman's in
breeding plumage and certainly never in our area in July.
