Observation details
Medium sized white-winged gull; pink legs, bill yellow at base, black at tip. This bird may be the same bird seen by others in the area today, identified by them as Iceland, but the pictures are not identical and this may be a different bird. This bird was about the size of Herring Gulls; not as large as a typical Glaucous, but larger than a typical Iceland. I've entered this as Iceland because the wingtips extend considerably beyond the tail, and because the bill, although good sized, is not "large." Perhaps others will see traits in the photos that suggest it's Glaucous, but for now I'll call it Iceland.
