Glaucous Gull (2nd CY) (back gull) - Rodeo Beach, Rodeo Lagoon, Marin County, California, USA - March 29, 2024
Observation details
2nd CY (1st winter). Appeared seemingly out of nowhere at c. 12:25pm after I had combed through the gulls several times. Feeding with mainly Western Gulls on By-the Wind Sailors at Rodeo Beach and occasionally visiting the main lagoon outlet channel to wash with other gulls cycling through. Still present when I left at c. 1:30pm. Note the gull flock is being repeatedly flushed by beachgoers but they seem to being staying around due to the washed up By-the-Wind Sailors. Largely pure white (particularly the wings) with some pale buff markings to the mantle, pink legs and a sharply bicolored pink bill with black tip. Photos.
