California Gull                                             Larus californicus Lawrence

The photos below are organized by day of the year.  Clicking on an image thumbnail will take you to a larger photo.  They have also been set up in manual slide show format, so you may view them sequentially without returning to this page.  Images are best viewed full screen at a resolution of 800 x 600 or greater.

Due to the amazing variability in plumage of gulls, it may be impossible to accurately age all individuals.  The ages given for the birds on this web site may not all be correct.  Please feel free to e-mail your comments on identification and ages of any of these birds to Michael G. Shepard at comments@birdinfo.com  Each of the thumbnails below are numbered for easy reference.

Special thanks to Chris Thompson for pointing out errors and making age determinations for many of these individuals.
