SamT Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello, This Gull was spotted in Point Reyes National Seashore in California. I initially thought that it was a Western Gull, but I was caught off guard by the pale eyes of this individual. Could this possibly be a hybrid of sorts or perhaps a Herring Gull? Thanks in advance!

akiley Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It's a Western Gull I believe, although I'm not 100% sure I could rule out Western x Glaucous-winged (Olympic Gull). The northern Western Gulls generally belong to a subspecies that is lighter on the mantle, which could be the bet explanation here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
