Observation details
Maybe two. Photos. Small, juvenile, finely structured gull with large numbers of other gulls. Thin, all black bill. Finely patterned flight feathers, At one point, irritated by another gull, it chased it and showed light tan wingtips. Next to California Gull, and slightly smaller. The bird that's alone (or with one CAGU) is a second bird I believe. The flock was not skittish, but there was a lot of movement to and from the landfill, and along the shore. I was able to scan through them from about 150 yards or less. Unfortunately, a large black dog came along and ran into the water chasing all the gulls away.
