[EBB Sightings] 60+ Bonaparte's Gulls near Dumbarton Bridge Newark

On a brighter note, while I was looking for (and sadly
finding) oiled birds at Don Edwards NWR in Newark this
morning, I counted 60+ Bonaparte's gulls in the small
muddy ponds on the northeast side of the Dumbarton
Bridge (Newark end).  You can gain access to the levee
trail beside the pond by going under the bridge from
the fishing pier parking lot. The birds were not
particularly flighty despite my nearness. 

I took a hand-held digizoomed photo (not great, but
you can tell what the bird is).
