Ring-billed Gull delawarensis 1st cycle (1CY), October 09 2005, Eastham, MA. Picture: David Sibley.See David's site. This is a very dark and fresh-looking juvenile, with mostly dark bill, much as one would expect in late summer. Second picture again this bird: two first-fall Ring-billed Gulls sleeping, with very different plumage – the one on the left still in full juvenal plumage, while the one on the right has replaced most of the body feathers with first-winter plumage. |
