California Gull (albertaensis) (Larus californicus albertaensis) (1)
- Reported May 16, 2025 13:08 by Herb Elliott

- Comments: "*Rare over-summerer - … appears to be a 2nd-cycle with large long thin-based bill, very pale new scaps, long primaries, longer legs and overall size, less colorful bare parts, and very pale and weird-looking overall, typical of these guys at this date. Unfortunately we both left our cameras in the car but KH took a few identifiable digibins."
