OK, here in Bucks County, PA I don't think we ever lose the gulls entirely--you can see a few Ring-billed Gulls up at Lake Nockamixon even in summer. But the wintering gulls are starting to trickle back in. Today I had 3
Lesser Black-backed Gulls and one
Great Black-backed Gull. We still don't know where these lessers go for the summer, which as far as we know aren't nesting in North America.

There was a male Lesser Black-backed that mated with a Herring Gull in Maine this summer. http://sites.google.com/site/appledorelbbg/
I think this is the second occurrence, with the other one being in Alaska in the 1990's.
