While looking for the slaty-backed gull on the Hudson River in Beacon today, I noticed a herring gull with pink wing bands "AAF" and two leg bands, one pink and one silver, mixed in with the other gulls.
I searched the internet for this code and found a herring gull with similar wing bands from Sable Island, Nova Scotia. See http://sableislandgulls.wordpress.com/ . I wonder if this is the same bird? Thoughts?
