Observation details
**rare hybrid combo - likely a returning individual (possibly the same ad bird since Oct '07?); adult gull with features intermediate between LBBG and HEGU in multiple ways (mantle shade, leg color, shade of the outer underwing, etc); some features more biased toward one parent species (i.e., overall build, head shape, primary extension more HEGU-like; head streaking, color and shape of gonys spot more pro-LBBG); pics including good shots of the spreadings (still growing P10!!) and long call
