carlinsc Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 1st pic, is it a herring gull? 2nd pic, are the two herring gulls? What about the large gull in the background? Juvi Herring Gull or some other species altogether. As always, thank you in advance. These were taken today on Hunting Island, SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peromyscus Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 #1 is a Herring Gull. All three gulls in #2 are Great Black-backed Gulls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlinsc Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Thank you! Might be the first time I have seen both types in one day 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peromyscus Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) I see that the legs on the two adult gulls in #2 are yellowy. So they are all Lesser Black-backed Gulls.

Charlie Spencer Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 The terns are Royals, if anyone's interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi, @carlinsc. Good to hear from you again. I love Hunting Island! I got my lifer Long-billed Curlew there last June. Can't wait to go back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
