Observation details

*Scarce but regular at gull staging areas along the lake. Immature bird, probably 2nd year. Light gray mantle feathers beginning to show and dirty brownish chest forming a vague but distinct transition with paler underparts. Mostly dark bill but with pale, slightly fleshy colored base. Pinkish legs and pale white folded primary tips with subtle pale gray tips. The bird stuck mostly with the larger gulls and was clearly a smaller than the nearby Herring Gulls. Distant digiscope images obtained.
