LorraineCO Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Friday Harbor area Washington state on a whale watching trip a couple of years ago when I was a new birder. I'd love it if someone could id the gulls in this list for me. 3rd & 4th photos, maybe California Gulls? Have no idea on the others. I'm just not familiar with what I might have seen there. https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S26075555 Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 All of them look like California Gulls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melierax Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I think I went on that exact same trip when I was there! And I wasn't a birder then so I was just excited about one Caspian Tern and never checked for Murres or Auklets... rip. I agree with CAGUs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorraineCO Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks! I can usually pick out adults, but juveniles stump me, even here at home in CO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took as many photos as I could and sorted it all out later. Tons of birds every time a whale breached, just fantastic! BTW, it's really hard to take photos of birds flying around when you're bobbing on a boat, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
