Observation details

Continuing first-cycle bird, first found on the 23rd. This bird was extremely cooperative, and we were able to view it at our leisure from close range. I'm not sure if this bird falls within the nominate subspecies phenotype, but it was extremely pale. Separated from other pale gulls by very small size, fine all-black bill, and rounded head.
