Second winter Thayer's Gull at Clover Point, Victoria BC -
January 3,
2003.

Photographed
with an Olympus C-700 Ultra Zoom at 10x optical zoom.
Observational notes from the photographer: "a)
the bird was noticeably smaller and
daintier than a Glaucous-winged Gull, but not tiny, b) in flight the bird
was very evenly patterned with a broad brownish terminal band on the tail.
The color of the band was very similar to the overall mantle color. At first I thought it was a first winter bird, but there was quite a
bit of "smooth" gray replacing the scalloping effect, so I
figure it is a second-winter individual."
