Unusual gull sighting

Date of sighting: 9/12/12
While kayaking the south end of Mono lake, Peter Leveque and I came across a small adult hooded gull that I believe to be a Sabine’s gull. We were unable to get photos or a good look at the bird in flight, but it lacked any hint of an eye ring. We last saw it near the inlet of Lee Vining Creek among a large flock of California Gulls and a few White-faced Ibis.
Also of interest, we found three Lewis’s Woodpeckers across the road from the county park feeding on apples.
