Media notes
aberrant coloration of bill and legs, also appears to be molting
Observation details
Includes 1 aberrant-looking bird. Same size and shape as laughing gulls it was associating with - however, legs and bill were pink in color. Plumage appearance was closer to non-breeding laughing gull (no black hood). Bird has whit eye arcs characteristic of laughing gull. Also might be molting as there were a few white feathers showing within the gray wing feathers on the back. Bill tip has darker spot near end on both lower and upper mandible. Photos attached.
