All,

David Suddjian has told me that on his monitor the mantle color of the
Palo Alto Baylands puzzler gull looks fine for CALIFORNIA GULL and
that he feels that is what the bird is.  Certainly this is a much
better explanation for the bill pattern and the faded brown primary
color looks much like a first fall CAGU.  The legs of a second-winter
CAGU are usually a characteristic bluish/greenish color, but this is
early enough in the season that pink legs are probably to be expected.

I think this probably is a first-fall CAGU and I have been fooled by
the apparent gray on my monitor :(

Any other photos that give a size comparison to other birds?

Mike
