Notes:
I have been observing the Western Yellow Legged Gull and taking pictures. I am curious about this far flung traveler's arrival to our pacific shores. Perhaps it is a hybrid via mating in our native gull species. Many foreign ships and vessels dock here. Perhaps a vessel,shipping or shipping lane journey encouraged this gulls arrival to our coastal shore.
