Abstract

The Kumlien’s gull is a subspecies of the Iceland gull Larus glaucoides kumlieni Brewster, 1883, breeding mainly on the south Baffin Island and wintering in northeast Canada and USA. In Asia, this gull has been recorded in Japan and South Korea during winter, but there have been no reliable records from Russia. This report provides information on the first documented observation of the Kumlien’s gull in the northeast Sea of Okhotsk, where an adult specimen in basic plumage was photographed on 2 March 2020 at coordinates 57°03′00″N, 153°23′10″E 170 km off the West Kamchatka coast. The analysis of identification signs in comparison with closely related forms glaucoides and thayeri showed that all of them correspond to the L. g. kumlieni. The authenticity of the species identification was confirmed by the Faunistic Section within the Menzbir Ornithological Society.
