Default Gull ID...aren't they always ?

I'm going to have to learn how to ID gulls and terns. And just about everything else. Today was a most enjoyable day and I've IDed everything except these.

Usually I just call them black-headed or herring.

Thanx, Mike. And that was very quick. I did think that the BHG was 1st winter but I didn't think that I knew enough to be right. Thanx again.
