I arrived at Sullivans Pond looking at what I thought was the young =
Glaucous Gull I photographed a few days ago facing me staight on. When =
it turned sideways to my surprise the wingtips were light brown instead =
of white. For those few who may be curious, here are two pics side by =
side for comparison of the previous Glaucous Gull and todays "Nelsons" =
Gull (Glaucous Gull X Herring Gull hybrid):
