Yes, we realize that the photo above looks like it was taken by Mr. Magoo, but heck — it was taken from a running vehicle through a mesh fence at a Kearny landfill.
NJMC Naturalist Mike Newhouse thought it was worth photographing because its plumage was so white. What is this gull?
Mike is thinking it could be an Iceland Gull, and so do others. What do you think? E-mail Jim Wright here.

Due to the oot of focus shot, my “guess” is it’s a Glaucous Gull.
