Just to fuel the gull fire a little more, in southcentral Alaska the
common hybrid is Glaucous-winged x Herring. There is a colony of 2000
breeding birds where past studies have been unable to locate any pure
forms of either parental species. The entire colony is hybrid and
continues to propigate itself.
