American Herring Gull (smithsonianus) 1106-19489 6th cycle (6CY), October 07 2016, New Buffalo, MI. Picture: Amar Ayyash.Please visit Anything Larus for more images! #1106-19489. Banded as a flightless chick in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin on 15 June 2011. The bill is relatively small for Herring, suggesting a female type. Although the black W-band on P5 (right wing) is typical, the white tongue tip is not. Primaries out to P7 fully grown, and P8>P6. P8 almost fully grown, P9 about 1/3 grown and P10 just coming out beyond the wrist. Outermost and innermost secondaries growing. Most secondaries still tucked under greater coverts. |
