Beth,
The likely candidate would be California Gull, which you described perfectly, and breeds locally in Colorado. I counted 300 at one lake in Loveland the other day. Thayer's arrive in October, and have bright pink legs.

Among the pelicans and ring-bills was an adult gull I couldn't identify. It had a dark eye, red dot on the bill, wings slightly darker than the ring-bills with black primaries, and yellow legs. Maybe a Thayer's and I misjudged the legs? Beth Partin Boulder County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
