The weather was just a bit warmer today, and the winds were down dramatically. Another trip to Brown's Island (with the same 1 hour time limit) felt necessary. The 8 mile drive for the chance at a Glaucous Gull was really a no brainer, even though the previous trip was unsuccessful.

Before I knew it, 30 minutes had gone by and still no Glaucous. Gulls were flying EVERYWHERE and time was running out. Scanning over the same rocks one last time I noticed a different looking gull fly in and land on a nearby rock just in front of a few Herring gulls. BINGO. Glaucous gull.
