Observation details
*Rare. Originally picked up in flight as it joined the belt of gulls sitting near the edge of the channel, where it took a commanding position right off the beach, just before 7:00. Observed for thirty minutes or so at pretty close range. Great White Gull with dark-ringed pink bill. Canid like head and cleanly two-toned bill, as well as massive size and clean white plumage, indicative of pure GLGU over GLGU x HEGU or a similar hybrid. Naked eye visible as it rafted among surrounding gulls, looked like a ship. Spectacular.
