Hi,

I was just (10 AM on 12-16-99) looking at a flock of Bonaparte's Gulls
off the causeway at Point Lookout State Park.  I was looking for Little
or Black-headed Gull, but I found a gull with an all white wedge-shaped
tail.  I was not able to see the wing pattern, but the bird is the same
size as a Bonaparte's Gull with a white head marked with a small dark
area behind the eye and a small black bill.  All the gulls in the group
had either red or pinkish legs.  I think there is a distinct possibility
that it was an adult Ross' Gull, but it left the area before I could
confirm it.
