Observation details
This gull later died at this location on 11.03.17 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S40290615 First winter bird with a two-toned darker mantle with brown lower wing contrasting with darker upper mantle at rest. Small white primary spots-apicals - and not much of a scapular crescent or tertial skirt. Gull was frequently seen with it's eyes closed and was reluctant to fly upon approach. Could approach to within ten (10) feet and it would walk into the surf rather than fly away. Larger immature Ring-billed was seen to display dominant behavior towards it by hitting it hard on the head with the bill. Still there when I left.
