Observation details
The first cycle Black-legged Kittiwake that was discovered a couple days ago was still there, standing on a roof top. This is the same roof (and area of the roof) where I saw a first cycle Black-legged Kittiwake last winter. Note: In all of my photos that show the legs, the top of the legs (the only part I can see in the photos) is pinkish-gray -- not black as what I would expect to see. All other characteristics, however, are consistent with a first cycle Black-legged Kittiwake. I have seen a number of photos on the internet of first cycle Black-legged Kittiwakes that show the same pinkish-gray leg color ... although most photos show black legs.
