>From 5PM to 6PM Sunday, the Slaty-backed Gull was easily findable along the East Bay beach, from the Artists' Point parking lot (where it was jockying for number one position in front of some bread tossers - a Herring Gull attacked it pretty aggressively and chased it off) to just behind the East Bay Hotel. Again it was usually alone and very approachable. There are a few sailboats behind the East Bay, and for a time was between two sailboats, so it may help to walk the beach a little bit.
