Sabine’s Gull on left with Laughing Gulls. Note the light and dark M markings on its back and wings and the light colored legs.

Observation details

Fun to have the Sabine’s pointed out to us initially by the two sisters Elizabeth and Elisha who initially found the Gull yesterday. Seen from the NE corner of Kemah Boardwalk straight out east into the bay which is Chambers County. First spotted by us at about 1:20 pm & long views on and off until about 4:15 pm, coming by so close to allow good iPhone photos. Bird perched on pier poles to the south, frequently sat down in the water and frequently accompanied flocks of LAGUs. Bird crossed repeatedly also into Galveston County as it turned into channel and twice was seen crossing north to other side of channel and over the opposite point of land into Harris County. Lots of photos taken by others. IPhone photos attached.
