Babe Webster, Rick Wiltraut, and I drove to Maryland where we good great looks at the
Kelp Gull that was reliably visiting a dock behind the Sea Breeze Restaurant near Sandgates.
Kelp Gull near Sandgates, Maryland on February 19, 1999. The bird was seen behind the Sea Breeze Restaurant. Although widespread in the Southern Hemisphere, it represents one of only a handful of North American records!
