hering gull

today, when I was birding, it was pretty normal, 200 pine siskens, house finches, doves, all that, when I saw a Herring gull which is not on my life list yet. I can tell it is a Herring gull, because it looks just like a California gull(or sea gull) just much bigger. a california gull is around 22 inches, a Herring gull is around 25 to 26 inches, in a bird, inches make a huge difference. the hering gull makes my life list 96!!
