Seen out at Reiffel. Head is very distinctive from a distance.

84. Heerman's Gull - June 2008
The only red-beaked Gull in North America. Noticed and identified these guys in San Francisco, just near Fisherman's Wharf. Have probably seen zillions of them but hadn't noticed the red beak.
83. Northern Cardinal - July 2009
I saw my first Northern Cardinal this week at Central Park in NY. I had read on the internet that Central Park was a birders' paradise and it is, if you like Robins and Sparrows and Black Birds. However, as soon as I walked into the Rambles I saw this little beauty. It's bigger than I had imagined, and not quite as red, but a beautiful bird. I saw both a male and a female.
