wolffish Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I know they are almost considered vermin in the Pacific NW, but a glaucous winged gull is a lifer for a guy from the Northeast! Looking for confirmation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolffish Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 I have these 2 other gull photos - probably different birds, but thats ok w me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinmt Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Bottom photo is your Glaucous-winged. Note the white tipped primaries, and the gray in the primaries matches the mantle gray. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Middle photo is Western x Glaucous-winged Gull hybrid (darker mantle and dark gray, but not not black primaries)... I agree that bottom is pure Glaucous-winged... top one is tougher to tell, but looks Glaucous-winged as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
