Hi Everyone-- I looked at Nick Komar's gull pictures. Structurally, it looks like Glaucous-winged, even if the bill is a little on the small side (there is plenty of individual variation). The bird I saw last weekend had similar gray tones on the back, so it could have been the same guy (wish I'd had longer looks). Slaty-backs of this age are starting to get dark back feathers, usually have some black smudging around the eye and don't look quite so hulking.
Nick, thanks for persevering to get those picture. Mark Miller Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
