As I mentioned I'm scanning some old slides I've accumulated over the last 30 
years or so and I came across a slide that I had labeled as Thayer's Gull.  I 
don't know if I've even looked at that slide since the time I took it back in 
the late 80's.  At the time, there had not been a sighting of California Gull 
yet in the state, so I fear I may have been swayed by the theoretical 
probability of Thayer's.  Unfortunately I do not have leg color or wing color, 
just a sitting bird, but a decent photo of it.  Anyway, would appreciate 
thoughts.  There is no doubt that the photo was taken in Wisconsin, but I have 
to admit, I don't remember the location, but probably South Shore Yacht Club.  
Here's the photo:
