My sincerest apologies, but i was mistaken in my identification of the gull reported for Manhattan yesterday afternoon. I thought i would err on the side of reporting an unusual bird. I appreciate the extensive and kind responses provided by so many. The variability in young gulls certainly provides many learning opportunities. Happy Birding. Peeter --
