Ring-billed Gull, breeding plumage

Palo Alto Baylands

An adult in breeding plumage in the Bay Area in July, where this abundant species doesn't nest; note the adult plumage, the red orbital ring and gape, and the very worn flight feathers. It's probably an early migrant or winter visitor, returning from the nesting grounds.
