Yes, I saw the kelp gull at the SeaBreeze Restaurant Sunday between 11:45
and 12:45.  They were also two greater black backed gulls there for leg
color comparison.  After about 10 minutes the kelp gull sat down and
continued to sit on the pier until I left.  Frankly, had I come fifteen
minutes later, I would not have been able to say for sure which was which.
