(Larus occidentalis)
This gull was found at the coastal town of Seaside in Oregon, USA. I was hoping that I might have found a gull which was new to me but after consulting the field guides I believed that this was a Herring Gull. I posted it as such with the proviso:
"Unless any American viewer can tell me differently that is..."
I have been helped by Don Roberson of Monterey, California, who patiently explained why it is a Western Gull, thanks, Don.
