Hello Vincent,
Nice photos.
Appears to be a first Winter Glaucous Gull- note dark eyes. Second Winter bird would have yellowish eyes and if late Winter would likely have a Pink tip on bill and possibly some grey on back.
Thanks,

> Between the wet snow and rain I went out looking for gulls today, 02/22/2014 in Sequim. Driving along, I saw a very white gull in flight at the spray fields near the intersection of Sequim-Dungeness Way and Woodcock Rd. I immediately recognized it as a Glaucous Gull, probably a juvenile one. I chased the gull in my car as it flew west along Woodcock Rd. and then it disappeared. Fo the next half-hour, I searched all of the gulls in the nearby fields and lawns. Finally, at 4596 Woodcock Rd. across from the Cutting Garden Art Center, I saw the gull and managed to get a few photos. I would like confirmation as to whether it?s a pale juvenile or 2nd cycle adult. I believe it?s the former based on the fact that the primaries are concolorous with the body. Anyone? I then decided to see how many gull species I could find in Sequim in the next hour or so. Here?s my list:
