Observation details
Continuing bird found by Doug J. on “rocky island” located here: (33.1794792, -110.4873441) with other gulls, Ring-billed and California. Larger than California, frosty white and brown overall coloration including tertials and primary tips which extend beyond tail, some gray mantle feathers coming in suggesting bird going into 2nd winter plumage, straight dark bill with pinkish base, steeper forehead, rounder head, and “kinder” look than California gulls. Photo with California comparing bill, group shots with California, Ring-billed, and Snowy Egret for size comparison.
