Observation details
Misidentified initially as Glaucous Gull, but size of bird (not significantly larger than RBGU, evident from photographs), overall body structure, rounded rather than bulkier head, daintier bill all point to first cycle Iceland instead. ID error pointed out by Andrew Rapp, Todd Day and Baxter Beamer. Continuing first cycle individual found yesterday, 5 Feb by Kim Harrell & Kimberly Osmonson (see: https://ebird.org/checklist/S102086187); photographed right in the parking lot after I'd walked the beach up to 6th Street and back scouring through the hundreds of Ring-billed and other gulls.
