Melierax Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Pretty sure this is a California Gull, with the extensive black on the wingtips. Was considering LBBG but I think the dark back is due to lighting. (Southern Idaho: HERG, CAGU, RBGU are the most common gulls) Edited March 3, 2020 by Melierax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean C Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I'm thinking California Gull due to the amount of black on the wing tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'm struggling to imagine how a California Gull could ever look that dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melierax Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 The other photos show a significantly lighter back but they're blurrier. I'll upload a second one tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Based on the photo above, I like Lesser Black-backed Gull here due to the very dark upperparts and the long, thin, pointy wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
