Hi cobirders,
I am admittedly weak on my gull i.d.'s. However, yesterday as we were leaving a friend's house outside of Oak Creek, CO, we drove past Stagecoach Reservoir, and on the extensive mudflats were many gulls. As one took to flight, I got a great look at it and would call it a Sabine's. There are just not many likely candidates with that distinctive wing pattern.
When it landed, quite a distance from me, the profile looked right. I am familiar with the Kittiwakes after living in Norway and traveling to Denmark from there.
Someone more knowledgeable from that area might want to check it out.
How's that for hedging?
Regards,
Pam Piombino
Boulder County
