Hello CoBirders, Last night while at Lake Loveland, I saw an interesting gull. At first I thought it was just an abberant LBBG, but after someone suggested a different ID and after discussing it with several people, I am leaning towards a possibility of Western Gull. It was an adult about the size of a Herring Gull with quite a dark back. It had a large bill with a small red spot on the end. On the back of it's neck were a few fine streaks and it's legs were pinkish with just a little hint of yellow. Overall, it appeared heavier fronted than I would have expected. I did not see the back half of it (I did see the primaries at one point when it moved them a little) because several gulls were in the way, which is why I say "Possible". I do have one or two poor quality photos if anyone is interested in commenting on it. I am planning on trying to find it again tonight.
