[SBB] Glaucous Gull at Dumbarton Bridge

[Matthew Dodder <[[email protected]]>]

All,

Cricket and I scoped the Bay from the west side of the Dumbarton  
Bridge today in the hopes of finding some lingering Red Phalaropes.  
We found none of them, but we did find a second winter GLAUCOUS GULL  
on the mud flats between the new and old bridges. The pale PALE tan  
Gull was seated on the mud flatt, affording nice comparisons with the  
nearby Western and Glaucous-winged Gulls of various ages. It was  
clearly a large Gull with very pale coloration and with absolutely no  
darkness on the wing tips. Its bill was also sharply demarkated  
pinkish with a black tip. Its iris was pale and legs were pale pink.  
We watched it as it flew over our heads to the north-east side of the  
bridge.
