[Birdnet] re: Another "white-winged" gull in Logan - possible ICELAND GULL?

[Mark Stackhouse]

I tend to agree with Tim's assessment. As one who voted down many  
previous "Iceland Gulls" while on the committee (including some seen  
and photographed by me), I have to say that this one looks like the  
real thing. It would be nice to have some input from some of the  
"gullophiles" at ID Frontiers.
