: Crandon Beach has hosted Lesser Black-backed Gulls the past 3 summers. Using the strict June/July summer time frame, my records are as follows:
:
: 6/12/02 through 7/31/02: consistent sightings of 2-11 birds on 6/23. The usual number observed was 7-9.
:
: 6/1/03 through 7/31/03: consistent sightings of 1-3 birds, with adults seen 6/30 and 7/3.
:
: 6/12/04 through 7/26/04: consistent sightings of 1-3 birds.
:
: Other than the adult mentioned above, the gulls have been immatures, mostly 1st-summer.
:
: Also of interest: Great Black-backed Gull was present 6/10/04 through 7/26, with 4 birds present on 7/22. This was a day with large influx of shorebirds.
:
: Lesser Black-backed Gull was also observed 7/8/98 on Tigertail Beach.
:
: This information is transferred each summer to John Boyd (regional compiler) and is printed in the appropriate Florida Field Naturalist. We're very lucky to have these neat gulls summer here.

I have seen both Lesser Black-back Gull and Greater at Dump Marsh in the Summer June, July. Mostly immatures.
