This adult
Black-headed Gull was first located at Montrose Harbor by John Hockman
and Ann Harness on 23 Feb 2007. Kanae Hirabayashi relocated it there
on 28 Feb, when I took the first photo appearing below. The bird remained
at Montrose Harbor through at least 15 March, when I took the second
photo. You can see how the bird is molting in new, black (or dark
brown) head feathers.
