    1. Reviewed by Kay Loughman    Feb 19, 2010

    Action: ID confirmed

    Reviewer's comments:
         "Without an identification from an expert on gull chicks, "Gull (sp.)" is the only reasonable common name that can be shown here. Neither kittiwakes, nor Ivory, Ross's, or Sabine's gulls are known to breed in Utah. Herring, California, Ring-billed or Franklin's gulls would be more likely."

    2. Reviewed by Simon J. Tonge    Nov 25, 2021

    Action: changed name from "Larus sp." to "Larus californicus "
