Herring gulls are usually found breeding in low numbers on boreal lakes and rivers in interior Alaska.
Some herring gulls, however, breed on the south coast of Alaska, notably in Upper Cook Inlet near the mouth of the Susitna River; at Dry Bay, mouth of the Alsek River, near Yakutat; and in Glacier Bay in recently deglaciated fjords.
Alaska's herring gull populations are not likely to expand in the foreseeable future because of restricted nesting space and lack of substantial sources of artificial food.

 Birds Korea - conserving birds and habitats in South Korea and the Yellow Sea eco-region
Taxa belonging to the "Herring Gull Assemblage" (a term apparently coined by de Knijff et al) pose one of the toughest identification challenges in South Korea, even though several forms appear to be widely distributed in winter.
In addition, American Herring Gull L. smithsonianus (claimed in South Korea on one or two occasions) is recognized as a distinct species (apparently showing strong mtDNA divergence from European taxa, and from vegae within the range of "birulai").
According to Yesou (2002), there is little variation in mantle coloration of Vega Gull, though he states that the northernmost populations (nesting on the New Siberian Islands, which lie within the range ascribed for birulai) are the palest-mantled, while the westernmost and easternmost are the darkest.

The gull spent most of its time standing still with its bill tucked into its back feathers but there were a couple of bouts of preening and it stretched its far wing twice.
Most of the time it stood at the same angle as the Herring Gulls, so we could confirm that its mantle color was a shade darker than that of the Herrings without worrying about it being an artifact of the light.
Herring Gulls at this time had, for the most part, fully grown in P9 and nearly or had completed growing P10 - thus were a few weeks ahead of the LBBGs and the mystery bird.

The easternmost subspecies interbreeds with populations of the so-called Siberian skua.
The easternmost subspecies is so far east that it ranges into Western Europe as the herring gull, where it exists alongside the lesser fl-backed gull.
But the herring gull does not interbreed with the lesser fl-backed gull in Western Europe, and no amateur ornithologist there would ever place these two in the same species.
