Observation details

**rare; adult; MJI only (photos); seen well, a white-breasted and pale gray backed gull with a white traingle in the outer primaries, blackish outer primaries from below, reddish bill, and black earspot on an otherwise white head. Size was clearly larger than Bonaparte's, but no other gulls present for comparison. Flew south along the shoreline within about 50-100m of shore to Lobster Cove, but when I moved closer for photos I lost it and it disappeared. Poor photos:
