- Comments: "Continuing 2nd cycle bird (Herb Elliot 4.17.25) with pale and worn plumage was slightly smaller than nearby California Gulls and differed from Glaucous-winged Gull also in the flock by being noticeably smaller overall with smaller, rounder all white head, shorter bill that showed pink at the base and on upper mandible, brown secondaries, white-tipped tertials and pale-edged primaries that contrasted with pale upper parts and mantle that were faintly patterned in brown. This bird was pale brown-white below with shorter pink legs."
