The gull that has been identified in the photos to the right, which is the lower gull in this photo, has pink legs. Click on the photo after it opens and it will be enlarged. Lesser Black-backed Gulls are supposed to have yellow legs. Ideas on this gull's identification will be appreciated. Please e-mail me at: dgranstrand@charter.net.
