Howdy,

I was out photographing hybrid Glaucous-winged x Western Gulls when I came
across a third winter bird that was likely a Herring Gull. Comments on its
identity would be appreciated. Images can be accessed from
www.birdinfo.com/gull-mystery.html Bird #3

Any more ideas on bird #1 would also be great.

Over the past few days, gull have been very cooperative at Clover Point, so
I've added a few new images of the following:
Hybrid Glaucous-winged x Western Gull

Mew Gull - adult and second winter

I look forward to some discussion.

Thanks,
