HamRHead Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Posting for my nephew--recent photo. Can any of these be called? Thanks for your help! Edited May 14, 2021 by HamRHead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan B Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Gulls from a photo like this are almost impossible to identify, but the four preening dark backed gulls on the left side of the photo are Western Gulls, based on the dark mantle, large size, and pink legs. The reminder of gulls here are probably California Gulls and possibly a few Ring-billed Gull. Edited May 14, 2021 by Aidan B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 If it is at all possible, we'd love to know if any of these are California. Would a photo with higher resolution be of any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexHenry Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 These look like all Western/Glaucous-winged/Olympics to me, except the 3rd bird from the right in the 1st photo *may* be a California Gull 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird-Boys Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Western and Glaucous-winged gulls. Maybe an Olympic gull or two. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
