[Birdnet] No Western and Glaucous Gull :(

[Tim Avery]

Colby Neuman, Dave Slager and I headed out to Lee Kay around 1:30 this 
afternoon and were dismayed at the lack of gulls.  There may have only been 
around 200 present and none of the great gulls that have been seen were 
there...  A day late and a dollar short! Oh well.

Of interest was a bird that Dave spotted on the compost heap.  It appeared 
to be a Ring-billed Gull, but the right primaries appeared to be solid 
white. The rest of the wing appeared normal and the left wing was normal. 
The bird had a rather dusky head, orange-yellow legs and what appeared to be 
a darker bill.  It was an adult which made this all the more strange...

Good Birding

Tim
