sbruenjes 102 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I saw this bird at the Raritan Bay in Middlesex, NJ last week. Unfortunately, I wasn't focused on this bird, and I just noticed it in the background of one of my pics.. It seems to lack the black wing tips I would normally see on a herring or ring-billed gull, so I was wondering if it was something more interesting. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

AlexHenry 2,307 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I think the white we are seeing is a tertial crescent, not the primaries, but I may be wrong 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Leukering 5,148 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The white is, indeed, the tertial crescents. You can see a bit of black of one primary tip on the left wing. It's a Herring Gull. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
