I just took a look at my poor photos of the two gulls at Old Point mentioned in my previous post and still think the Herring isn't Shai's gull, but I may be wrong. The black-backed gull is defintatley larger than the Herrings it's with but still not sure if it's a Lesser or not. The back doesn't seem dark enough for a Great and the size seems to large for a Lesser. Would anyone be willing to look at a few of my photos? It'd be much appreciated. Andrew Andrew v. F.
