Media notes
First-year bird feeding on what I think was the body of an American Coot.
Observation details
Originally misidentified as California Gull. I’ve changed it to Herring Gull after input from helpful experts. Factors tending toward Herring: coarsely patterned greater coverts that are not contrastingky dark (which California’s would be expected to be), all-dark bill, and relatively uniform coloring of head vs. body (i.e., head not being as much lighter as would be expected in first-year California).
