- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S302485713
- Comments: "*presumably the continuing wintering local. Large all white immature gull sitting on the water in the channel towards Columbia St. Pier. Seen in direct comparison to a young Herring Gull, and it looked comparable in dimensions and heft. After about a minute, it took off circled low, and flew SW and out of sight behind the recycling center."
