- Comments: "An enormous white winged gull seen flying north from the pier toward Bush Terminal at 12:55 as we just walked in. I called it out and we both immediately knew that was the bird. Wasn't able to relocate on the pier so we went to Bush and found it there (see the other checklist for pics). Lifer for me (CG) on my fourth attempt"

- Comments: "We followed this gull to Bush after seeing it fly north from BAT Pier 4 at 12:55. Spotted on the ice near the rocks out from the southern part of the woods, an area it has been favoring. Huge all white gull with a bicolored bill. Left for BAT again and was spotted there around 2pm. Many pics taken!"
