Salutations: While gulling, I picked out a Mew Gull (Short-billed Gull) out on the water feeding with Ring-billed Gulls. The bird was quite a ways out and has drifted south towards the area where the Scaup flock tends to hang out.
Water taxis are frequent in the area and has so far put the bird up a few times but it does a short flight and drops back to feed. See a few heavily cropped Digiscoped shots that I posted on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/birdingdude/status/1473337570482397189?s=21 Happy Holidays to all. Bless up!
