GULL IDENTIFICATION


The gull in flight in the photos below was on the Bow River in Calgary on March 29, 2012.  The first photo shows it in the company of Ring-billed, California, and Herring Gulls; the second is a cropped version of the first.  Identifications proposed for it include Glaucous Gull, Glaucous-winged Gull, and a hybrid of those two species. Any other input is welcome.
