Observation details

Small, long winged gull flew in off of lake right in front of us at the tip of Sand Point. Black “M” wing pattern in flight, black nape looking like 1/2 of a collar, black spot behind eye, black bill and legs. Watched diving in water, in flight and resting on water for approximately 15 minutes. Bird then flew into bay. Several photos taken and will post as soon as we can
