Observation details
Pretty sure I saw the Short-billed gull that's been here for the last couple of months. Only got a very brief look at the bill and the legs look a bit long in the photo, so I'll be conservative (molting first-year birds can look quite similar to RBGU in the same molt plumage). Roosting with gull flock at swim beach. Noticeably smaller than surrounding RBGUs. Faded brown coverts, brownish tertials, and dark brown wing tips. Faint appearance of a carpal bar. Legs dusky. Dark feathering around eye. Small bill noted when it briefly lifted its head.
