[obol] Seaside Gulls

[Mike Patterson]

I went south to Seaside on a tip from Steve Warner that there was
an unusually white gull hanging out on the Necanicum Estuary.  Sure
enough, there's a nearly emaculate large, white, pink-footed gull
best seen from the high school observation deck.  It has a dark eye
and poorly demarcated, bicolored bill.  My best guess: Glaucous X
Glaucous-winged.

At the Seaside Cove there are still lots of CALIFORNIA and HEERMAN'S
GULLS along with the usual host of resident stale-bread-eaters.

Those interested in the always fun, always pointless game of 
"Who's you're daddy" may want to have a look at this:
