Saw several gulls out on the water, but no sign of this one. I looked up and down the shore, it was standing on the sand fairly close to me just across the street from Stearns. Got a couple minutes of good looks, the black bill is distinctive. I haven't seen one before, It would have taken me awhile to figure it out for what it is. I snapped a couple of quick pictures for ID purposes, one is attached. As I watched it, it headed out into the reservoir, and then finally flew towards the south end of the res. It landed on the water, but I didn't watch it much after that.
Also saw a few Western Grebes, a little flock of Ruddy Duck, and some Common Mergansers. No sign of a loon, other than the one standing on the shore with binoculars (as my wife always says!).
