That's a VERY pink bill for a Gambel's. Could this bird perhaps be a Gambel's x Leucophrys intergrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really isn't a great way to put in into eBird at this time. I think it's probably fine to keep it as Gambel's, it seems like almost all pale-lored birds on the east coast are put into the gambles taxa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was misidentifed as a Bonaparte's Gull yesterday by another birder, but the photo was found on Macaulay last night and correctly identified as a Kittiwake. Lots of birders out this morning looking for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
