Rob,



     I agree too, from what Ottavio says about the description of Kelp 
Gull. I looked through my Seabird of the World from Fact on File, it has 
a photo picture of a Kelp Gull flock and other picture of Lesser 
Black-backed Gull, both are way different with the legs and the mantle, 
it is a Kelp Gull we all saw down there. The LBBG has a bright yellow 
leg in the picture and the Kelp has a yellowish-green leg in the 
picture, it is the same color leg I saw on the pier. It is a Kelp Gull, 
I hope other birders agree with this.
