Media notes
Long call of both WEGU and Olympic - starts with Western and ends with Olympic
Observation details
continuing 2nd cycle - I can see from my pics that it has begun its 2nd cycle inner primary molt. Large pale gull, with hefty dark bill. Primaries quite worn but still quite brown and generally very dirty gray overall for a pure GWGU. Long call recorded which is more consistent with Glaucous-winged (eg each note double length of Western). Both long call records start with Western and end with Olympic which makes a good comparison.
