:) You're welcome and thank YOU for correcting this. It was one of my first spottings and I didn't know anything about gulls!
Cindy, thanks for starting the SoCal mission!
We don't have great black back gulls on the west coast. They are an Atlantic gull. This guy is a Western Gull (Larus occidentalis).
