davgrant4 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 While reviewing a not so recent trip to Porto I found this photo of a Gull that I am unable to identify. It was shot on May 10, 2019. I think it may be a first year Greater Black Backed Gull? I am from California and gulls have always been tough for me. Any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Herring, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 What about Yellow-legged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLecy Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The bird is pretty worn making the ID more difficult, but from what I can make out with the broad fringing to the tertials, Herring Gull seems more appropriate. The bird also doesn't have the "long-legged" look of YLGU. However, I would suggest using the eBird option Herring/Yellow-legged Gull here.
