Re: [cobirds] 1st cycle kumlienz Iceland Gull, Jefferson County

At sundown today, a pale brown gull showed up in the gull flock at South Platte 
Reservoir that was probably the same bird I identified this morning as 
Kumlien's Iceland Gull. At closer range, I think it may be a hybrid. I posted a 
very poor photo to the CFO Facebook page. Until better images are obtained and 
the identity of this gull can be determined objectively, I will change my eBird 
report to Larus sp.
