A large very pale gull with all-white tail and wing-tips (both below and above), it was seen aggressively pursuing other gulls. I believe I may have also seen it yesterday (Feb 4) circling with a kettle of gulls over the intersection of Coleman Rd and Almaden Expwy as I was stopped at the stoplight, but I wanted to wait until I got a better look before reporting it. The best time to look for this gull would be at mid-day or afternoon when many gulls gather at the lake after their morning at the Guadalupe Landfill to the west or where ever they may hang out. Most gulls appeared to be Herring Gulls, but there were also California Gulls and Thayer's Gulls, including some rather pale washed-out juvenile gulls. Other birds of interest included three HOODED MERGANSERS and two OSPREYincluding one flying low over the water with a sizable fish in its talons.
