Editor's Note:  I don't believe we have ever posted two photos back to back from the same photographer, but this one caught my attention.  Priscilla Footlik captured this photo of a rare Juvenile Heermann's Gull at Main Beach.  According to a birder who happened to be on the beach, a Heermann's Gull is a rare sighting since the bird is almost exclusively a Pacific  coast bird.
