Heermann's Gull (Larus heermanni) (Immature)

Ormond Beach Wetlands

Oxnard, California

 

Appears to be a second year bird - flying up the main canal at Ormond Beach.

 

A very accommodating low altitude close-up fly-by. They'll be dressed up in their formal finery soon, but they're my favorite gull to photograph no matter the color phase.
