Adult California Gull.
Note darker mantle and larger size than ring-billeds, and both red and black markings on bill. This is at the Alameda Open Space on the Rio Grande River in Albuquerque. I did not get a picture of the adult Mew Gull. It was nestled in the middle of a large flock of ring-billeds. It is smaller and has a small all yellow bill and dark eye.

Pygmy Nuthatch near downtown Albuquerque
After seeing the Mew Gull I drove over to a Marriott Hotel (near downtown) where a Pine Warbler had been seen the day before. Despite spending over two hours, and despite the warbler having been seen that morning, I managed to miss it. However, I did get some interesting pics of this out-of-place Pygmy Nuthatch, including this one of it eating a pinyon pine nut!
