Danny, There also is a good site comparing Thayer and Herring photos across from each other that might be useful.

I've attached a link to Derek Lovitch's blog (the finder of the bird) where he has attached photos. http://maineoutdoorjournal.mainetoday.com/blogentry.html?id=17570 I figure some of us Midwestern folks could perhaps provide some opinions one way or the other on Derek's bird, as we certainly have more Thayer's Gull experience here, and I will relay any comments to him.
