2nd winter Smith candidate?, Iceland

Post by Stefan » Sun Jan 28, 2018 10:27 pm

This 2nd winter gull was seen on the 15th of September 2017 by Alex Máni in Selfos. It caused a debate on the western palearctic facebook page, with some arguing that this was american herring gull whereas other considered to be a Smith look-alike. With this individual, it will be difficult to be sure whether it is a american herring gull or not. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... ater&ifg=1
