Moulting: A Key ID Feature
The moult patterns visible in a gull's plumage often provide invaluable clues about its identity. In this deck, we'll learn about when throughout the year a gull moults, how this cycle shows up in its appearance, and the clues to look for to guide you towards a more confident ID.

Small & Intermediate Gulls ID Practice
Now let's practice identifying photographs of Western Canada's small and intermediate-sized gulls in their various plumages, from juvenile to adult. For every photo, the key diagnostic features are highlighted in the footnotes, while other cards put your powers of recall more directly to the test with questions that compel you to list those features without a photograph to prompt you.

Large Gulls ID Practice
Similar to the previous deck, we're going to practice identifying photographs of Western Canada's large gull species in their various plumages, from first, second, and third-year juveniles to adults. For every photo, the key diagnostic features are highlighted in the footnotes, while other cards put your powers of recall more directly to the test with questions that compel you to list those features without a photograph to prompt you.
