Observation details
Gull showing slightly darker mantle coloration than Herring Gull, with yellow legs, red & black patterning on otherwise yellow bill, which was daintier than that of Herring. Dark eye with red orbital ring. First encountered at 36°50'17.71"N, 75°56'40.87"W, which is 1.5 miles ENE of Rudee Inlet, and 1.4 miles ENE of the closest point of land, perpendicular to 6th Street Beach, Virginia Beach. We then turned around and continued to observe the bird to a distance of 1.8 miles out from the beach, with my last photograph having GPS coordinates of 36°50'16.95"N, 75°56'14.65"W. Photographed extensively.
