Larophiles (people who love gulls) have a special place in their heart for Herring Gulls. They are one of the most variable species out there. They have variation in years/cycles, local variation, winter vs summer plumage and also they have a penchant for hybridization. Some day I will post a series showing the variation, but for now here is a third winter Herring from Wrightsville Beach, NC.
