Observation details
Found this bird this morning flying over lake (distant) and quickly dismissed as a Ring-billed Gull as we left on boat from marina. When coming back in I saw it sitting on the buoy and quickly noted the darker gray back and long droopy black bill. Was able to get very close with the boat. First-cycle bird. Hanging out on buoys and flying around boat marina/swim beach area. Seems comfortable. Here all afternoon. Black legs, huge black bill, dusky hood, dark gray overall comparable to Lesser Black-backed.
