Tweeters,

I spent some quality time with 800 or so Glaucous-winged Gulls hanging
out at the large Stoneway gravel pit a bit south of the main King County
Dump off Cedar Grove Road.

The group contained about 5% Herring, but couldn't find any that I was
convinced were Thayer's.

I was able to pick out three, maybe four immature Glaucous Gulls.

What I want ask all tweeter land is.... 99% of the Glaucous-winged were
adults. Have these birds had a couple bad breeding years? Don't the
adults let them hang around? Are they in school?
