Thursday's visit (3:30 - 4:00 p.m.) to Northeast's Town Park didn't produce any the of "white-winged" glam gulls, but killer views of a single adult Lesser Black-backed Gull was a nice consolation prize.  I certainly wouldn't know the gull dynamics here, perhaps like Sean and others, but there was a lot of turn over with gulls coming in from the left (probably from Elkton landfill) as you are facing the water. The number of gulls never seemed to get bigger (and there are plenty).  I wasn't following their exit, but in watching the Lesser Black-backed move around, it is easily imaginable that you could be looking at a spot with nothing there, then all of the sudden, a Glaucous could be sitting there plain as a day.  The numbers and viewing make this place a great gull classroom, particularly with ice consolidating the birds up close to the near shore, and open water.  Also present, one former MOS President also on the return flight from Fox Point SP.     

Note: The Buffalo Rockfish Bites at Woody's Crab House are just what you'd imagine if mildly "heated" is your thang.
