I went down to Swann Park and scanned diligently, but was un-able to re-locate the Iceland Gull or Lesser Black-backed Gull found by Kevin earlier. Joe Hanfman came down, and we re-scanned the area with no results. We then headed to Harbor Hospital, which hosted many Ring-billed Gulls, and some Great Black-backed and Herring Gulls out over the harbor, but found no success. There are some attractive areas for gulls that are out-of-scope view around the harbor, so the bird may have just been out of view.
