Observation details
tentative ID. I thought it was odd looking and my best guess was Herring Gull. The bill and head shape are unusual for AHGU, and it is very “frosty”. The primaries do seem to also have some milkiness, and secondaries are not as dark as normal for AHGU. It’s an oddball but seems pretty consistent with 1st year Cook’s Inlet Gull after browsing NA Gulls Facebook posts.
