Welcome to Featured Highlights, May 2025. This video series aims to highlight ideas found in The Gull Guide - North America. I'll be expanding on and detailing concepts you're reading about in the book, beginning with establishing a foundation for molt and plumage.
This fifth video briefly reviews the start of the 2nd prebasic molt, and then focuses on the differences between 2nd cycle and 3rd cycle in large gulls. Distinguishing these two can often be done with perched birds, but sometimes an open wing is needed, and is safest when aging large gulls.
Requests and suggestions can be forwarded to thegullguide@gmail.com
