Tom Krakauer, tkrakauer@mindspring.com, is on the Outer Banks for the weekend 
and is scheduled to go to Cape Point with me on Nov. 30.  On his way here he 
stopped at Mattamuskeet, saw a Black-headed Gull, called from Nags Head and 
asked me to post his sighting:

A Black-headed Gull was found on Nov. 27 at Mattamuskeet NWR on the north end 
of the causeway,  Route 94.  Seen with Bonaparte's Gulls, it was a first 
winter bird with orange bill, black spot behind the eye, pale legs, and black 
terminal tail band.  Compared with the Bonaparte's Gulls, it was larger and 
heavier-looking.
