Hi,

Point Blue has a long-standing banding project banding WEGU from breeding colonies on the Farallon Islands. The bands are placed on chicks, and the color band varies with the year of banding. https://www.pointblue.org/farallones_blog/the-wonderful-wegu/

The Wonderful WEGU - Point Blue<https://www.pointblue.org/farallones_blog/the-wonderful-wegu/>
Spring and Summer on the Farallon Islands is abundant with breeding seabirds (13 species, to be exact), but Western Gulls are one of my favorites to observe.

Good birding,

Kim

Dan tried to send this today, and it was rejected as spam. Is there someone in the managerial ranks who doesn’t like gulls? Or is it AI having fun with us, as it often does?

“Does anyone know about banded Western Gulls? Erika and I photographed what I presume is an immature Western Gull at Westport last Thursday. The bird's right foot has a whitish color band with a red spot (or square shape) above a regulation silver band. The numbers on the regulation band are not easy to decipher.”
