Observation details
Update: Based on feedback from a gull expert, I have changed this from GWGU to ICGU, albeit an exceptionally large one. I have retained my original description below. Original Description: This gull caught my eye because its plumage was reminiscent of a first winter Iceland Gull (dark morph), whereas its bill size was reminiscent of a Great Black-backed Gull (but not quite as large) and was entirely dark black. It seemed slightly larger than a Herring Gull and definitely larger than an Iceland Gull. The primaries were similar in color to the rest of the wing and body. This and the bill size and color are consistent with a first winter Glaucous-winged Gull. See photos.
