Hey y'all,
Would appreciate some help with these last birds from my trip to USA. They're all gulls spotted in Portland, OR, by the banks of the Willamette River. I have my guesses, but would love some confirmation, since gulls are so tricky to ID.
1 - Mantle color seems good for Glaucous-winged, but primaries are too dark. I'm thinking Glaucous-winged x Western?
2 - Foreground. Glaucous-winged?
3 - I'm thinking California Gull, but shouldn't the legs be yellow?
4 - Terrible pic, sorry. But seems good for pure Glaucous-winged to me. Am I right?
5 - 1st year Glaucous-winged? (And poor bird, with the broken mandible )
Thanks in advance!
