Description:

One of three California gull eggs (CBE8914 - CBE8916) collected by an unknown collector for W. F. Webb from Pyramid Lake. Webb noted the nest was made "of coarse sticks lined with grass in low situated bushes." The eggs had been freshly laid at the time of collection and were later acquired by Ernest Tabor.
