Thanks for the ID suggestion Kathryn. According to information at the link (below), "Identification of the large pink-footed gulls (Herring, Thayer's, Glaucous-winged, Western and Glaucous) along the West Coast is difficult." What made you suggest Glaucous-winged as the ID? http://www.dfw.state.or.us/species/birds/gulls_terns.asp
