Brown headed Gull

Hybrid Glaucous-winged Gull x Herring Gull

This gull was video-scoped at Sue's Ponds, near the Logan Landfill, in Cache County, Utah on 19 October 2008. Most of the other gulls in this shot are California Gulls. There may be a Ring-billed Gull or two somewhere in the background. This bird was initially identified as a Thayer's or Glaucous-winged Gull but the expert consenus seems to be that it is a hybrid between a Glaucous-winged Gull and a Herring Gull, also known as a Cook Inlet Gull

Glaucous-winged Gull

Not the Teeside bird rather some from Skagway, Alaska ( a slightly less hostile environment).

New Link

I have added a link to Chris Gibbin's blog which whilst not exclusively Gulls has some fantastic images and is created by someone who knows what he's talking about (unlike me). http://chrisgibbins-gullsbirds.blogspot.com/
