Observation details
Adult in full alternate plumage. Very small hooded gull with very short bill, wingtips barely extending past tail at rest. Black hood extending to nape. No white eye-arcs. White wingtips and edge to secondaries at rest. In flight upper wing completely pale gray with white primary and secondary tips. Underwing dark gray/black with white primary and secondary tips. Wing-beats quick, flight "fluttery." On north cell feeding on insects high above the water and resting alone on the water in between flights. Spent most of the time flying over the northern half of the cell. Too distant for quality photos. The flight photo is maximum zoom and cropped and isn't particularly helpful but it's all I got.
