COBirders,

There is/was a near-adult YF or Western GULL at the Pueblo Reservoir south marina tires this morning. I am trying to refind the bird but nothing yet.

Other notables:

Neotropic Cormorant
Laughing Gull (adult)
Lesser Black-backed Gull
Caspian Tern

I am hearing the Gull is there at South Marina tires currently.

I haven't seen any discussion as to confirmation of this bird's identity.  Is it for sure a Yellow-footed?

Thanks,

30 people reported it as a YFGU yesterday, so I'd say that that's the consensus.

Hi,
Where I am visiting in the UK, where Yellow-legged Gulls are often seen,, Merlin will often report European Herring Gulls as Yellow-legged Gulls.

Hi,
Yes, I did have a different species mentioned, But if the first ID was wrong, and 30 people saw the same bird, they could all be wrong.  Not saying the ID was wrong, there is a possibility.
