Observation details
a 2nd year bird; very large gull, larger than Herrings. White head and underparts; two toned bill; bill very large and heavy; back dark but with strong checkerboard black-and-white pattern; tertials jet black with broad immaculate white tips; white tertial tips contrast with black tertials; black tertials contrast with checkerboard mantle and scapulars; primaries jet black with one small white window on outer primary; rump/uppertail coverts and upper tail white; black terminal band on tail; legs pink; this is a different individual from the one we had last week at Thompson's Fish Camp - last week's had an all black bill. I have extensive photos of this bird.
