    Ring-Billed Gull with one leg? - 8/4/24 - Spruce Run Reservoir - New Jersey - USA

    I was a reservoir photographing Ring-billed Gulls and I noticed something odd about a certain individual. It seems to have one leg absent from it when it was photographed. I'm not sure if it's due to the fact it's tucking in it's leg into it's feathers or it has a leg missing from it completely...

    I like trying to get up close to these guys at this time of year. A bird that is overlooked but presents a nice red eye ring and base of the bill in early spring. Hope you enjoy the image.

    Downtown Seattle, WA, United States - Juvenile Jaeger/Gull/Skua

    Hey all, there's this bird that likes to hang out on the roof of the building right by my apartment. It comes to this rooftop nearly every day and calls into the air when gulls are nearby. For a while, I thought it was a hungry juvenile gull - but if a gull approaches it and lands on the roof...

    Yellow-legged or Lesser black-backed Gull?- Hastings, UK

    Taken today 01/08/23. It's about time I properly got to grips with these gulls and I need your help. My thoughts are that contrasty head and clear mask and a pretty heavy bill whiteish belly and undertail point to YLG, but I'm really not confident enought yet to call it myself. If this is YLG...

    Herring Gull with grey head (aberrant)? (Dutch coast, IJmuiden, July 6th 2023)

    This evening I saw this Gull approaching over the beach and dunes. Its dark gray head and breast really stood out even from a large distance, so I ran up a dune to take pictures. Due to the very nice evening sun it's not even that obvious in the pictures, but its head and breast were really...

    California Gull

    I believe this is a 2nd year juvenile. I like how its wings look like digital camouflage, with one feather being replaced at a time.

    Large Gull, possibly Cachinnans, Steinhorster Becken near Paderborn, NRW, Germany, 8th May '23

    My first thought was Caspian Gull, but would like your input, as I have been more wrong than right in my ID's recently. Only one image I'm afraid. Many thanks!

    Adult Gulls - Camano Washington State USA

    All seen last week during cold and dreary weather at a west side beach. The lighting was tricky, potentially altering the appearance / darkness of plumage. The bill extension on the first gull is actually a shell the bird is holding. Many thanks!
