Observation details
Bird is foraging with Black-legged Kittiwakes along outer beach. All white tail. Reddish legs and feet. Base of bill dark with red tip. When flying, black of primary tips grades directly to gray of mantle without there being a zone of white between them! All white spots on primary tips (3-4) are small, being difficult to see on bird in flight, entire mantle appears clear gray, but photos show some brownish in wing coverts of standing bird. Steven C. Heinl identified the bird as first summer.
