Rick just sent me a couple of clarifications to his post that I thought I?d pass on to the rest of Tweeterdom.
Rick and Tina refound the gulls today, Saturday, a bit after noon.
The gravel point is north of where Sunset Avenue turns east becoming Caspers St. Rick guessed a kilometer north, but if I?m finding the right features on Google Maps, it?s maybe just 1500 ft. north of Sunset X Caspers. That intersection is, itself, about a half mile north of the ferry dock.

Tweeters,
Tina and I were able to find the GLAUCOUS GULL pretty quickly. We finally found the LITTLE GULL hiding in a large group of Bony?s loafing on the small gravel point north of Sunset Drive. We?ve had this bird on our Washington target list for a couple years. Thanks Dennis and Steve!
Good birding!

Hi,
Early this afternoon Dennis Duffy called to say he had a Glaucous Gull off the fishing pier.
I arrived within 10 minutes and the 2nd winter Glaucous was still showing.
There were probably a couple of thousand gulls off there. Dennis had already seen a probable small jaeger.
A little while later he drew my attention to a first year Little Gull in amongst the many Bony's and Mews. The birds were moving south and, by the time I left at 3 pm,
the festival was over. Pretty amazing.
Cheers, Steve
