Hi SBBers,  I was among the throngs at the Palo Alto Baylands yesterday 
morning at high tide.  After little luck on the sought after bird, we 
walked around and came upon a few birders (sorry I didn't get your 
names) who had spied a first year GLAUCOUS GULL in the channel across 
the road from the "duck pond" (just beyond the entrance gate).   This 
bird was quite pale with pure white primaries and typical bi-colored, 
very parallel bill.  The head was perhaps a bit squarer on top than I've 
come to expect with Glaucous, but otherwise it seemed fine for a pure 
Glaucous (no larger gulls were around for size comparison, but it seemed 
fine next to Californias).  Neat, bright undertail barring was very 
obvious on this bird.
