| Common Name: | Gull, California | | Scientific Name: | Larus californicus | | Family: | Laridae | | Area: | Yaquina Bay, Oregon | | Date: | July 31, 2013 | 
The top photo shows adult bird. Note red and red spots on the bill and the greenish yellow legs. The middle photo shows a second year bird, which is very similar to a first year Ring-billed Gull, but the green legs I believe ID this as a California Gull. The bottom photo shows a first year bird. |
