I too have a hard time calling these hybrids. Wear and fading explain the
palish primaries of what otherwise seem to be fairly typical plumages of
Glaucous-winged Gulls.

Hi all,
Mike has recently reported a number of Glaucous-winged x Glaucous hybrids from
Clatsop County, often 2-3 on the same list. I've yet to accept any of them.
Some if not all of the photos I've seen show Glaucous-winged Gulls.
Do any of you have opinions about these four reports with photos?
