Welcome to Featured Highlights, June 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 6th video addresses a gateway ID that is one of the first hurdles encountered by beginning birders, and that is Thayer's Gull versus American Herring. Distinguishing these two can often be done with perched birds, but an open wing is almost always used for reassurance.
