[Maine-birds] Correction from Owls Head

In visiting the lobster pens this early morning, I am suspecting that my yesterday' report of MEW GULL may have been a molting 1st-cycle herring gull (a small female.) Having seen the actual mew gull hundreds of times at this setting, it becomes easier to assume a snap ID from a rushed or incomplete look at a bird. I apologize for my sloppiness on this one, and hope that no one traveled a distance with expectations of the MEGU.
