American Herring Gull (smithsonianus) 26H 1st cycle (2CY), January 21 2016, Brevard County, FL. Picture: Amar Ayyash.

Please also visit Amar's blog: Anything Larus! And of course: Gulls of Appledore Isl.

Green 26H, banded as a chick at the nest on Appledore Island, ME on July 15, 2015. This is the first resight since the gull was banded.

All scaps replaced. All coverts, tertials, and all visible fight feathers still juvenile. Underparts and head are a combination of older retained juvenile feathers (now faded pale brown) and several new darker grey feathers, onwhich markings are well demarcated.
