American Herring Gull (smithsonianus) 1st cycle (2CY) X25 January 24 2013, Myers Beach, FL. Picture: Pat Green.

See website: The Gulls Of Appledore

X25 is a Herring Gull that was banded as a chick on Appledore on July 20 2012, and since then has only been spotted in the area of Fort Myers Beach, Florida. He or she was first seen on November 30 2012 in Little Estero Lagoon, Fort Myers Beach (by two different people), and then again on December 16 2012. We are told that Little Estero Lagoon is a Critical Wildlife Area on the southern end of Fort Myers Beach and a great place for birders! On January 17 2013 X25 was spotted in a new location of Bunche Beach, Cape Coral, Florida (about 5 miles away) , but then returned again to Fort Myers Beach on January 24, 2013.

Almost all scapulars replaced, except for the rear feathers in the lowest row. Bill base turning pinkish.
