Summary:
  The Committee recommended that record #2010-42 be resubmitted as two different records so each bird could be reviewed separately.   (This is the record for the bird with the "dark bill" and #2011-45 is the record for the bird with the "bicolored bill" )  There was some thought that this might be a pale Thayer's Gull but in the end it was accepted as a Kumlien's Iceland Gull.
