Gull
with Yellow Legs at Point Pelee |
|
 |
|
This adult gull with yellow legs was at
the Tip of Point Pelee on 18 May 2011. Its mantle shade was similar
to most Ring-billed Gulls and the few Herring Gulls with grey in the
mantles. The legs were a rich golden yellow. The red gonydeal spot
was not huge, and had a black spot in front of it. We are
researching the identity of this gull. I welcome comments.

pattern. This photo will be replaced when Mark sends the original.
