The Black-headed Gull was present in the lot in front of Best Buy at Hunt Valley Town Centre today at 11:45 when I arrived.  I was able to get some pretty good photo shots, and was able to get some half-decent photos.  It flushed about 12:10 when a male in uniform, unclear if mall security or police officer, came by on foot and walked right towards it.  However, it circled around and came back for five minutes, then appeared to depart in a southerly direction for good about 12:15, or at least the moment.

I observed no miscreant behavior, all traffic stayed in prescribed lanes, and did not steer toward gulls.  I had camera ready in case.  I only observed one other gentleman with a big lens, and met a nice couple from DC, who had also come to see the gull.

Looks like getting there noonish is the ticket.
