Afterward, no Great Black-backed Gull or any other
gulls found anywhere on or around Target. The dumpster
behind Target is empty. Headed back to get my dad and
his friend at SHA in downtown Baltimore, while driving
N on I-95 at Balto/Howard border, there are 11
Ring-billed Gulls, possible one Laughing Gull due to
good size and dark underwings and one subadult Great
Black-backed Gull circling overhead. Cannot tell if it
over Balto or Howard, they kept circling around as I
was driving 60+ on 65? zone on I-95 bridge (hardly any
traffic).
A lot activities going on along Clover Hill Trail
at Rockburn Brach Park closest to the stream with
three seperate flocks.
