After the success of Sarah Sands’ article on the ‘Subtleties of Color’ (JP 21), we recognized the value of continuing to provide more color resources for artists. The Tint & Glaze Poster was the first significant new tool for artists to come from this research. Following up on this work to create a printed color chart trying to represent real paint colors, Chris Farrell, our Creative Director and person in charge of putting together this chart, is our principle advocate that printing, no matter how carefully it’s done, cannot be a substitute Color for paint.

    The Morlan Method Dichotomous Keys for Western North American Gull Identification Dichotomous keys copyright 1980 by Joseph Morlan. Reprinted by permission. Developed for birding classes at San Francisco City College. See <http://fog.ccsf.cc.ca.us/~jmorlan/> for course schedules and further information. The following dichotomous keys are designed to aid beginning and intermediate gull watchers. They will not resolve the identification of all gulls found on the West Coast. They are geared toward identification of our regularly occurring gull species from September through March and may not match features shown in spring and summer. Hybrid gulls, which are readily seen in some areas, are not addressed. Successful use of these keys first requires determination of the age of the bird. Some useful points to focus in aging gulls are given at the beginning of each key. Distinctive species, such as Bonaparte’s, Heermann’s and Sabine’s gulls and Black-legged Kittiwake are not included.

  • Report on Six Recent Sightings of the Iceland
    EO O SI ECE SIGIGS O E ICEA GU I O CAOIA WI COMMES O OEMS O IE IEIICAIO JOHN O. FUSSELL III, MICHAEL J. TOVE, and HARRY E. LeGRAND JR. Abstract.—Observations of six Iceland Gulls, seen in Carteret and Dare Counties in 1980 and 1981, are discussed. Evidence is presented to show that these gulls were not hybrids, or albinistic or leucistic individuals, or Glaucous or Thayer's Gulls. Separation of Iceland Gull and Thayer's Gull can be difficult and some individuals probably cannot be safely identified. Emphasis is placed on "building a case" for the identification of any "white-winged" gull. Reports of "white-winged" gulls [in this paper, Glaucous Gull (r hprbr and Iceland Gull (. ld] in the Carolinas are increasing. Including those in this paper, there are 78 known records-51 of Glaucous Gull, 23 of Iceland Gull, and four of unidentified species. Almost three-fourths of these records were made during the last decade. This increase is probably due in part to an increase in gull populations and in part to an increase in the number of capable observers, especially in regard to coverage along the coast in winter. Many of the recent winter records were made after periods of abnormally cold weather. With the increase in "white-winged" gull sightings, there have been some controversies in the Carolinas (see Am. Birds 31:321, Chat 42:10). This is not surprising, for this group of birds can pose identification problems in the field (and sometimes in the hand). A frequent problem is that in areas where Glaucous and Iceland Gulls are uncommon to rare, or among observers unfamiliar with these species, there has been a strong tendency to misidentify small Glaucous Gulls as Iceland Gulls.
