Showing gray upperwing and black underwing on right along with broad white trailing edge.
Observation details
** Rare **. With binoculars I observed a small flock of BOGU flying left along far side of the bay below tree line. I observed a bird with dark underwing and was reasonably sure of LIGU so attempted some photos. The flock kept moving but rose up and started circling. I got the scope on them and was able to confirm an adult Little Gull. Black hood, black underwing with striking broad white trailing edge to entire wing. In profile wing appearing to have more rounded wingtip which was white. Upperwing pale. Second county record with first being found by myself and Peter Ross at same location on 3/28/2015.
