About 9:15 this morning several of us watched this gull through scopes as it flew away to the west: Bonaparte's size (maybe a bit pudgier), all white or very pale gray mantle, no black on wings, perhaps a dark smudge behind the eye, underwings not seen well, square tail (not wedge-shaped), bright pink or orange-pink legs, dark bill. It appeared to fly more stiffly, with shallower wingbeats, than the Bonaparte's near it. Not wanting to breathe the R----'s word, we thought it might be an albino or leucistic Boney's. Any ideas?
