The Black-headed Gull Russ Ruffing found in the Hunt Valley Mall parking lot was loafing there when I arrived at 12:35 PM.  As others have noted, it was amazing watching numerous cars driving thru the flock of gulls, some within a few feet of the gulls, but they hardly flinched.  Then without warning, the entire flock lifted off and circled around a bit before many came back to land on the parking lot.  Unfortunately, the Black-headed Gull was not one of them.  It had not returned when I left at 1:30 PM.

Here is a digiscoped photo of the BHGU:
