Ves Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 These were taken earlier today (1/5/2019) in southcentral Kansas! Any help with any of these gulls is appreciated, thanks in advance! 1. I am very curious about these ones, they seem very dark on top, especially the adult to the right. Sadly I only got these two photos of them, I could understand if they aren't identifiable with these. I hoped maybe they could be Lesser Black-backed Gulls, but I'm not sure, I know Herring can have a lot of variation but I have never seen an adult with such a dark mantle. 2. I can definitely understand if this one is not identifiable, but I figured I would put it here as well! Another dark gull I saw today. 3. One more, I feel more confident that this one is a Herring, but would like to make sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yes, Lesser Black-backed on the right in pics 1-2. The rest look like Herrings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Are you certain that the three photos of #2 are all of the same bird? I ask, because the last one looks more like an immature LessBack than the subjects of either of the other two photos, the first of which looks like a Thayer's (but I wouldn't want to claim such on just that pic).
