The Glaucous Gull is the nearly white bird in the center. Look at the wings. Note the difference between the Glaucous and the other gulls in this photo.
In the photo above the wing tops can clearly be seen as white.
In the photo below compare the wings of the Glaucous to the gull just to it's right.
Took a road trip to Cornucopia WI today to hopefully find some wildlife to photograph. Fortunately for me Ryan Brady had the same idea and was already there watching a Glaucous Gull sitting in a large flock of other gulls. The somewhat rare Glaucous Gull is nearly white and slightly larger than the other gulls in the flock. While on wing the Glaucous wing tops are clearly white and they do standout. The three photos above do represent the Glaucous and clearly illustrate the differences in appearance. Thanks again to Ryan Brady for his guidance.
