Just a quick note, don't have time to go into more detail, but among the gulls at the compost today were a 2nd-cycle type GLAUCOUS (all plain white), two nice frosty 1st-cycle ICELAND, and a darker Iceland-type that may well have been a 1st-cycle THAYER'S, although I thought it looked on the pale end at the time.
