Oregon, also, has many Glaucous-winged/Western Gull hybrids. I
saw one of these specimens tending young at a nest in Newport a
couple of years ago. So all these Washington-centered names
don't seem appropriate. Puget Sound or Olympic Gull would not
convey the real distribution of these hybrids. Columbia or
Pacific Northwest Gull both do a better job.
