Media notes
Glaucous Gull at Pismo North Beach campground
Observation details
I met Kaaren Perry at the Meadow Creek trail and while we were talking we noticed a large, pale-winged gull briefly drop into the flooded campground. I initially called out Glaucous-winged but the bird was clearly very pale overall and much lighter generally than a Glaucous-winged Gull. It continued to fly west toward the beach and we could make out the bi-colored bill. The bird was photographed in flight. This is likely the same Glaucous Gull recently reported from Arroyo Grande not far away.
