second cycle
Glaucous-winged x Herring Gull

Fig 1) This looks like a second cycle Glaucous-winged Gull, with the characteristic black bill on a white bird, but it's getting a pale eye, has a rather pale adult gray mantle, and darkish primaries. December 10, 2011. Davis, California. Photos courtesy of Steve Hampton.
