I also observed and photographed a first cycle &#8220;Nelson&#8217;s&#8221; Gull.<!--more--> One of the Iceland Gulls (2nd cycle) was extremely petite (seemingly marginally larger than adjacent Ring-billed and smaller and much daintier than adjacent Herring). It was ghostly-white and had extensive white to the primaries. I would be interested in receiving feedback on whether or not this gull is safely separable from nominate <em>glaucoides<\/em>. Surely it&#8217;s a female given its size and delicate appearance. In any case, a lovely bird.
