Are these also Glaucous-winged Gulls? (1 Viewer)

More gulls from Playa Del Rey, CA. These one's are on the Duck Pond as opposed to the Jetty. I think these are also Juv Glaucous-winged Gullls.

The larger bird on the back is a Glaucous-winged Gull.

Glaucous Gull never shows an all-black bill. I think this is a first winter Glaucous-winged gull as you suggest.

Those pale birds in the back are GWG I agree as Glaucous never has an all black bill. In these photos, it appears huge next to the other gull which I think may be an "Olympic" Gull. It could be an issue of the photo but the bird in the foreground looks too small to be either GWG or Western Gull but it's either a hybrid or perhaps a paler than normal Western.
