Hi All!

I stumbled upon every gull in a field in Weld county, just west of Ault on CR 33.  There was one very large white gull. Could it be a Glaucous, Iceland or albino gull? In the photos, there is also a very large brown gull. Could it be an immature Herring gull?


Thanks

Hi all

It's been confirmed that the white gull was a Glaucous Gull and looks like the one seen in Fort Collins some say. Others helped identify Herring, Lesser-black-backed, California and Ring-billed Gull. This exact location was Hwy 14/Weld CR 33 about .25m south of Hwy 14 on west fields. These birds also frequent the Weld Landfill along Hwy 14 further west and Drake Lake on Weld CR 23. Black Hollow Reservoir as well.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
