Want to see someone lose their mind, my ornithology professor would if someone called them that. You didn’t even have to be taking his class, he would go out of his way to lecture random people who said that horrible word. LOL .....can picture little Johnny saying that to his teacher

Not supposed to shoot them, but sometimes an individual one just has to go. Friend of mine feeds them hotdogs soaked in alcohol.

Herring Western Mew 3rd winter Glaucous Glaucous winged
now do I have to look in my Gulls of the World since Ido not know where you have traveled Tray
Nope, gulls are from North American, more precisely SD and AK. I will admit that location does play a big part of the ID. And you have all but 1 ID’d correctly.

That's why always like the 007 licence the museum had for ID.
photo 1 with the black tip bill is the only red herring, the pink legs and yellow lours
photo 3 the red herring is the grey legs, everything else lines up; dark iris, light ring on bill,grey wings- grey primaries, some flakes
Alaska can have some European gulls especially when the Arctic ocean has been ice free for several years, and several South American gulls migrate north in their winter
Gone for the day so don't put up a spoiler till late this evening
