Hi Tuma: Sorry for the tardy response. Glad you worked out the i.d. of the Ipswich Sparrows - the two show the range of tones that you get - the brighter one might be a male. Your gulls are both Iceland Gulls, and both late first-winter birds. The nearer mottled one is probably young "Kumlien's" Iceland Gull from Nunavut, with a bit of gray on the primaries. They're very variable, and maybe even the one in back with pure white primaries could be a "Kumlien's," but it might also be a "pure" Iceland from Greenland. (TOO MANY NAMES!). Cheers, Ian
