[SBB] First year Glaucous Gull hybrid? at CCRS

[[[email protected]]]

All,
 
This morning, in the Coyote Creek Riparian Station "Waterbird  Pond," Frank 
Vanslager found a large, overall bright white Gull with a dark  eye, pink legs 
and a large black-tipped pink bill.  The only problem with  this bird was that 
there was dark smudging along the cutting edge of the  bill for a short 
distance behind the black tip (I assume that this makes it some  sort of hybrid, 
possibly a Glaucous x Glaucous-winged).  Unfortunately I  was only able to get 
one fairly poor photo when, for no apparent  reason, it took wing with the rest 
of the birds in the pond.  We  then watched the bird, soaring with the other 
Gulls, until it was out  of sight somewhere near the Newby Island Dump. 
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
