Thanks for the comments everyone.

Larry, I think it’s still a 1st cycle as the bill is mostly dark and there’s no hint of any solid adult mantle coloration.

Bob, along the coast here, they’re only somewhat uncommon. I was up in Gloucester a couple days before I found this one and had about 8 in one scan! Inland, like this one, they are quite hard to find.

Awesome in flight captures of the Iceland Gull Jason. What do you think, second year bird? It looks like the base of its beak is starting to turn light. Well done!

No luck with the Peregrine it appears.
