A particularly
stocky immature (third or fourth winter plumage?) Glaucous-winged Gull at Clover
Point, Victoria BC - January 20, 2003. The legs are shorter than
most individuals of the species (no, it's not an optical illusion nor a
bad camera angle). The mantle is the same color as the primaries -
a good mark of the species. In January, a fair number of birds of
this age class develop the contrasting two-toned bill.
Comments on the age of this individual would be appreciated. © Michael G. Shepard
