[Birdtalk] Additional Glaucous-winged Gull Photos

[Cliff and Lisa Weisse]

Upon viewing the additional photos Rick posted I'm more inclined to 
agree with Colby's assessment that this is may be a GWGU x WEGU.  The 
bill appears solidly black to the base and the pale bottom of the bill 
visible in the first photo (which would be an odd pattern any way) may 
just be a reflection of the orange surface the bird is standing on.  The 
legs also appear darker pink and more consistent with GWGU x WEGU.
