Observation details
FOY mid sized gull with round black head and upper neck, prominent white eye crescents, short reddish bill with black tip. Body was white with dark gray back. Legs appeared red. Wings in flight showed black ends with white terminal band. Too large for Caspian Tern and head all black and rounded. Larger than BOGU and white crescents more prominent. Smaller than LAGU and had white wing tip spots. Birds were standing on shore near ducks for good size comparison with spotting scope, then flew overhead for clear view of wing patterns and white eye crescents on black head. Seen by 3 senior birders and group leader. Photos pending.
