Hi All -
On my Ebird checklist I listed 25 California gulls. My first inclination
was to put them as ring-billed, which I believe they were. It was a flock
that stuck together. Most had dark eyes , small pointed yellow bills and
were small. As they floated on the water very distinct bright white spots
were very prominent along the black folded primaries. 2 of them had me
thinking short-billed due to the very tiny yellow bills.
I’m not sure how to correct the checklist from yesterday.
