Iceland gull? Glaucous gull? New England (1 Viewer)

hbreder · Dec 22, 2007

I uploaded some photos that I shot today of what I think is an juvenile iceland gull and a first cycle glaucous gull. Any other thoughts?

Yes, I think 1, 2, 3 and 5 are Icelands, and 4 is a Glaucous.

I'd have to agree with you both - glauc in the 4th and icy the others.
Nice.

I agree with the above, the Iceland gull has got that typical cute 'baby seal' look about it.

At this age, one of the best clues is to look at the bill pattern.
