[cobirds] Larimer Landfill Gulls

Greetings All

Sean and Megan (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) Walters and I spent 3 fun filled hours at the Larimer County Landfill
Again, upon visiting, remember to check in at the office, and stay far away from any moving vehicles, some of which could crush your car like Stalin's heel could crush an ant.

Highlights in included
~18 Lesser Black-backed Gulls
~10 Thayer's Gulls
4+ GW x Herring Gulls (2 adults and 2 first years)
1 adult Glaucous Gull
2 adult Iceland Gulls (one with type K or L wingtips, the other type O from Howell and Dunn's gull guide)
and what seemingly has to have been a California x Herring Gull (apparently hybridization is known from the Canadian plains)

For photos of many of these, see https://www.flickr.com/photos/36088296@N08/

Good Birding
