Iceland Gulls? (1 Viewer)

The front middle one at least might be Glaucous - the stout-looking, clearly two-toned bill suggests it. But the birds are all so distant it's hard to be sure.

Here is a Glaucous and an Iceland side by side, right?? The three gulls in the first pic were all much smaller than the nearby glaucous

It's asking a lot based on this image to assign to race, but the size of all 3 compared to the presumed Herring Gull behind suggests Iceland to me, and on location I would think kumlien's most likely. I can't see an obvious two-toned bill on any of them.

yeah great, that's what i was thinking. i had to crop the image to get around size restraints. in the original photo and in the field, these three all had clearly all black bills.
