On Saturday, 30 January 2010, I photographed a couple of interesting gulls. One 
appears to be a very pale first-winter Thayer's Gull, but may actually be an 
Iceland Gull, from Carter Lake, Larimer County. Let me know what you think.

The second is an adult "Herring Gull" that has more black in the wing-tips than 
our usual American Herring Gulls from eastern North America. It could be from 
the west coast population (breeds Canadian and southern Alaskan coast) or 
possibly Siberia (Vega Gull). It was at Erie Reservoir in Boulder County.
