Actually we wouldn't have been able to see the gull from Buckeye Drive, our view was from the road running along the Washington Channel. Also, you can go into the golf course clubhouse area and walk around to the end of the driving range building, where you can stand out of the rain and scope the pool.

Tip: The Clubhouse Grill has great hot food including breakfast for a reasonable price!
