[Birdtalk] possible Iceland Gull update

[Tim Avery]

The ID frontiers list has been lighting up with responses to the pictures I have
posted. Many viewers believe this bird is inside the normal range for a
Kumlien's type ICELAND GULL (not currently on the Utah list).  However, others
insist that it is within the range for Thayer's Gull.  And yet other insist
that this is likely an integrade and who knows???  For anyone out looking for
the Western Gull this weekend, keep your eyes peeled for this very light gull. 
It basically looks like a tiny 1st winter Glaucous Gull, but with an all dark
bill.  If you have a camera try to get pictures of the tail and any open wing
shots in flight would be nice.  I will hopefully make it out in the afternoon.
