| Gull: K30 | Date photographed: 8/13/2013 | Age: 3 years 2 months |
Similar to the last two birds is this shot of gull K30 just past its 3rd birthday. The head, neck, and underside are the bright white of adult breeding plumage, but there's plenty of immature brown in the back and covert feathers. The primary flight feathers are also brown. It's not really visible in this shot, but the tail still has a brown terminal band.
