Observation details
Rare, my first Quabbin record, seen in company of Ring billed and Herring Gulls. Slightly smaller than nearby Herring Gulls and obviously larger than Ring billed Gulls. White head and neck and dark backed bird with an obvious darker patch mid back which had me wondering on the correct ID for a bit but after looking at various sources and a couple e-mails it appears to be a 3rd cycle bird and not quite a full adult. I have distant digiscoped shots I will post later. It appears Scott Surner found bird independently of my sighting a little earlier in evening
