On the way back from a Sunday outing aboard Seabird from Birch Bay Marina to Alden Bank, a hike around Matia, and then back toward Birch Bay we ran across this gull that really stood out as being 'different'. Aboard was an out-of-state eBird god (reviewer) Holly, who also recognized it as something unusual. A small gull, RBGU size but with no gray coloration in its feathers, blotchy pink/red coloration on its legs, a light eye, and a bill with a pale white base and orange/red at the tip. Your thoughts?
