American Herring Gull (smithsonianus) 1st cycle (1CY), October 07 2016, Michigan City, IN. Picture: Amar Ayyash.Please visit Anything Larus for more images! 1st cycle with ~100% of scapulars replaced. Somewhat unusual is a few wing coverts (median and greater) have been renewed. This usually doesn't take place with the majority of hatch year herrings that Amar encounters. A better angle of this in the photo below. |
