Observation details
Please do NOT share on eBird Rare List, previous sighting - Huge gull on railing next to a flock of laughing gulls (photos soon to be attached for reference and perspective). Although there was some debate, multiple sources from ABA’s What’s this Bird and the Florida Rarities & Bird Migration groups made a strong case for LBBG based on bill structure, gonydeal angle, 2nd year plumage/gray scapulars. Thank you to all who chimed in, including Michael Brothers, Derek LaFlamme, Matt Smith, and John Groskopf, with their much appreciated input and field experience. (FYI: This particular bird may have been logged on eBird previously as GBBG.)
