We birded the Walvis Bay Saltworks and Walvis Bay area on August 10, 2012. Brad photographed this Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) as it flew overhead. It takes several years for this species to acquire adult plumage. Immature birds change in color from a mottled dark brown color with a paler barred rump to the coloration shown in this individual with paler overall coloration. Temperatures were in the low 70's on this overcast morning.
