Sorry for this late post. I was able to relocate the Iceland Gull at Swann Park in Baltimore about 2:30 yesterday afternoon. I was on my 5th pass through the gulls, and about to give up after 30 minutes of effort, when suddenly there it was. It is a rather pale juvenile, lightly "checkered" on the upperparts with pale brown primary tips. Even with not-so-great light, the small, mostly dark bill was obvious.
