Saturday morning I birded the Point San Pablo marina on a falling tide. Gulls descended on the breakwater, including Glaucous-winged, American Herring, and Thayer's in addition to our more-common Western and California. Most of the gulls were first or second winter, some transitioning to breeding plumage, presenting difficult identification challenges. And that doesn't even take into consideration hybridization! I took alot of photos but gave up identification in most cases. For anyone who enjoys ID challenges -- or is simply a birder with a masochistic streak -- the checklist is here (https://ebird.org/checklist/S304715477) with a bunch of photos posted under gull sp. By all means, let me know if you think you know what some of these gulls are.
