[Tweeters] Black-headed gull at Dumas Bay-Yes

[Al]

Whoops. In reviewing my pictures, I find two black headed gulls. This picture may be found at:

I’m guessing the bird on the left is a Bonaparte’s gull, pink legs, larger cap.
I’m guessing the bird on the right is a Dark-Headed Gull, orange legs, smaller cap.

What do you think?

I went to Dumas Bay on April 3 and found hundreds of gulls, many with black heads so I didn’t find Waldo.

Friday morning I went to Dumas Bay and found only 50 gulls, only one with a black head. The group of gulls were north of the park, beyond the No Trespassing signs.
There were no other birders- Great easy lifer. High tide at 10 am made the gulls much closer.
