Yesterday afternoon we headed over to Cutler Wetlands hoping to see the Black-headed Gull that had been seen earlier by Toe & Trey. When we got there Robin, Mickey, John K and John were hard at work looking for the gull. After scoping the gulls for forty minutes or so we decided to leave and take a birder to the dump marsh, he had been having trouble finding the T. Kingbird. We then headed over to Black Point to take a peek around and that is when we received a call from Troy and Roxanne "if you guys want to see the Black-headed Gull you better get over to Cutler Wetlands!" Next thing we know we are celebrating awesome views of a beautiful life bird. Thanks to John Kellam who relocated the bird, Troy & Roxanne for the call and Paul for originally finding this gem of a bird. A celebratory libation was held at the hacienda where we raised a glass of North Coast Old Stock Ale which rates at 12.5% on the Richter scale. Old Stock Ale is produced in a small quantity each year and remains available from release date until their stock is depleted. Smooth and creamy, ripe fruit melds with the alcohol to produce a rum raisin like flavor. Sweet caramel and toasted grains run throughout, with lots of malt it s definitely a beer to be served proudly.
An amazing bird to have right here in our own backyard! Congrats to everyone who has been lucky enough to see this bird.
Nature is Awesome
