Dan et al.:

Jane may weigh in on this but the best time to try for the Kelp Gull is NOT 11 am or later on the weekend due to boat traffic. Early morning (just after sunrise) is also not a good time as most of the gulls have not arrived yet. Try going from about 8 until 11 am or almost any time during the week, except late afternoon (3 pm - dark). BTW, the couple from New York did see Shrimpy on Sunday morning.

Good Birding!

Went looking for the Kelp Gull on Saturday, but with no luck.  Stopped
by the first time at 11:00, went to Pt. Lookout, and then returned
from 2:00 - 3:15.  In talking to other birders (included a couple from
NY and one on his way back to FL after getting the common crane in the
midwest), it seems Shrimpy wasn't there from 11-3:15, which is
supposedly his most regular shift.  Did anyone else see him Saturday
or Sunday?
