Hi birders, Just a short note. The Ujiharas have just added a fantastic selection of new Slaty-backed Gull images to their wonderful website. Some of the birds are shown in direct comparison to Vega Gulls. Enjoy! http://www23.tok2.com/home/jgull/081208/slaty.htm Best, James P. Smith Amherst, MA.

Please look at the bills on the gulls - the gull in the top images has extensive black in the bill and no red. The bottom gull's bill has a red dot and no black. Richard L.
