Observation details

Bird was sitting the water then flew up after being disturbed by another boat. You can see a major moulting in the photo. Thought it was an unusual time of year to see one. The id was confirmed on a North American Gulls. The gulls shows broad white tips to the new inner primaries which indicates a Little Gull. There is also a black M pattern on the back another pointer to a Little Gull.
