The Gull Guide by Amar Ayyash is an amazing new guide to the most difficult groups of birds, the gulls. It's packed with the very latest research on field identification, updated taxonomy, current distribution trends, color maps, and helpful notes on natural history, aging, and molt. In this review, I compare it to some of the other top gull references to see how it stacks up.
