Thank you Justin. Very informative. Been birding for only a year and had no idea of the diversity of gulls. Lots to learn and looking forward to the challenge of identifying in the future.

When feathers 🪶 are weathered do the have a little harder time flying. I wonder if they have to put more effort in when flying.

When I lived in Maryland I would see more than 1 kind. The regular ones then a giant sized one. I just learned that the brown ones are babies off “Feeding Steven” channel here on TH-cam. Great videos, you should check it out!
