Observation details
One of the first gulls I saw this morning. Adult in breeding plumage, all-white head, tail, and undersides, gray back and coverts, all-yellow bill (from what I could tell), and the best identifying feature for me was definitely the "dipped in paint" wingtips, which gave the wings a more rounded appearance from a distance. Shape was also noticeably thicker toward the head than ring-billed gulls, and size was overall slightly smaller. Bad but identifying pics attached
