 Sorry this note is reaching everyone so late after Saturday. I have been struggling to identify the gulls we saw on the walk. I am not well versed on gull identification, but I am trying to get better. As they say, that is the first step. Actually, my first step has been just to start enjoying observing gulls and paying some attention to them. Now, I need the knowledge part to increase. Teller Farms Pond #5 is great this winter for gull watching because it dried up and is littered with dead fish. Please send me an email to WBCBoulderCO@aol.com if you see any issues with the gulls I have identified in the photos. Thanks, Steve. Teller Farm & Lakes:
