January/February 2006. Watchemoket Cove, East Providence, Rhode Island. 'Kamchatka' Common Gull. Larus canus kamtschatschensis. Adult winter. Found by Carlos Pedro on January 6th, 2006. The following photographic list documents elements of the identification as developments surfaced, mainly through the web. I haven't changed any of the content within the pages, now (01/09/06) almost one year old, so some of the pages will be headed 'Mew Gull'.
