Observation details
1s/2s: Never got good looks at this bird but it was a big bruiser, large bodied, pot bellied, heavy-billed; I feel fairly confident reporting this as GLGU; first observed in flight at Lot One, landed very distantly (bad haze and heat shimmer) on the beach where it appeared larger than HERG's on the beach with it; later It flew past me over the dunes at the Lot 5 overlook heading south, where I got a video of it with my iphone; the pale yellowish bill was heavy and dark-tipped, the primaries and tail white and apparently unmarked; did not seem to be a leucistic gull of some other species.
