Gulls, Vancouver, Canada (1 Viewer)

[Wiganlad]

Found these old reject slides from 1996 trip to Vancouver and Alaska. I believe they are taken in Vancouver on 31 July or 1st August, but it is possibly later on the cruise in Alaska. Not necessarily the same bird either. Any clues gratefully received

glaucous-winged gull(s).

I agree. Glaucous-winged Gull. The only one on the west coast with that light grey & white spotted wingtips.

Like the way the perspective in the second makes it seem as if someone's taken a normal-sized gull and stuck miniature legs on it!

or some distortion in that pic? - note head and bill shape.

Thank you all. That's what I hoped. The distortion and blurriness is because I don't have slide to digital converter so I took pictures of the slides through a handheld slide viewer!! I am discovering so many slides I didn't I had in lockdown that maybe I should invest in one!

Either way it's a classic of its kind. You should make it more widely available (Opus?, Wikipedia?, Macaulay?)
