I just got a call from a birder in Key West, he relocated the Slaty-backed Gull. It was feeding with Ring-billed Gulls in the Publix parking lot in Key West. There is also a possible first winter California Gull here as well. It has been hanging out with the Ring-billed Gulls.
As you enter Key West turn right at the T-intersection, go about 1 mile or so and look for a large parking lot with a Publix supermarket on your left. There is also a Wendy's Hamburger Restaurant in the same parking lot. Drive into the parking lot a look for the gulls.
