Gull ID - BC Canada (1 Viewer)

[benoitjh]

Help please to id this very large gull. South Central BC on a lake. I was thinking perhaps 1st winter Glaucus-winged or maybe Herring but unsure. It's common to see Ring-billed and California gulls in the area...this gull seemed much bigger.

looks like a 2nd cycle Olympic Gull (Glaucous-winged x Western hybrid), but possibly just a F2 or F3 hybrid, being mostly GLWG with only a little WEGU in it.
