Hi Paul:
No, I don't have the expertise to eliminate Bonaparte's or even really haza=
rd a guess as to what it might be other than ?maybe a hybrid or partly leuc=
istic bird. At first glance it appeared to be "a white gull" and as it flew=
over I got an excellent look at the underside - the body and wings were pr=
istinely white: no smudges, shading or edges at all. But, of course, the he=
ad and tail matched first winter Bonaparte's, so ???.
Another one for the "Mystery Gull" files, I guess.
Happy New Year.
Lynn

Happy New Year.
