- Comments: "Continuing, originally found earlier in the day by Josh Malbin. Dark first-cycle bird with scaly, light brownish gray upperparts and gray-white-flecked body and head. Beady little eye, pink legs, and bulky pink bill with a black tip. Primaries subtly patterned but light overall when compared to reference images of Nelson’s Gull. Overall, a hefty gull — far larger than nearby RBGU — but its scale was most apparent once it took to the water. Chris and I observed it briefly on the pier amid the Rock Pigeons before it flew east toward the Army Terminal and landed in the cove south of the pier. Photos."
