| American Herring Gull (smithsonianus) 1cy, October 08 2006, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. Picture: Bruce Mactavish.Bird in complete juvenile plumage, without replaced scapulars by early-Ocober. The paler notches and the tips of the scapulars start to show a first sign of wear. Example bird showing less "smoky" (uniform) under-parts and neck, and rather broad white pattern on undertail-coverts.
