Juvenile seagull in its first cycle with brown and white markings.
Pacific coast at Oceanside beach
Aka Smithsonian Gull
welcome Cindy these juvenile gulls are at times very difficult to id because they almost have the same shades of brown and whites
but this one was very clear and distinctive
great pics anyways
Atul suggested the ID to me with my spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/695...
