Observation details

Dear eBird community: I'm using the rather generalized slash category (Western/Glaucous-winged) for these 10 different gulls. I'm essentially positive (but can we be??) that birds like ML613976900 are Western x Glaucous-winged intergrades. But some of the others? I don't think there are any Glaucous-winged x Glaucous Gulls in the mix here, but I'm not convinced there aren't any Glaucous-winged x Herring Gulls in the mix. Please reach out with any suggestions and conjectures for more refined IDs! Thank you.
