[Tweeters] Mystery Gull - Possible Iceland Gull?

[Steve Hampton]

This is a first summer Glaucous-winged Gull. It’s pretty common for them to get this bleached out by now. The very bulky structure and large thick bill rule out Iceland Gull.

Even hybrid Olympic Gulls can get like this later in the summer. But the rather straight bill without the bulbous tip, combined with the very pale plumage,  I think rules that out here.
