[Birdnet] Thayer's Gull(s)- Bountiful Landfill

[Tim Avery]

I hit the Bountiful Landfill this afternoon and spent about and hour and a half
picking through the gulls.  I was surprised at the apparent lack of any
Glacuous-type gulls, but pleasantly surprised at the number of THAYER's GULL's.
 In all I believev there were 7 THGU, including 6 adults and 1 first winter
bird.  The highlight was when one of the adult birds flew within 25 feet of me:

Note the expanse of white in P-10 both wings.

I also had great scope looks at one adult bird perched on top of a pile:

I had one very strange adult hybrid that believe it not looked like a Herring X
California, but it was a bit strange and I didn't spend much time looking it
over.

Good Birding
