Media notes
LAGU is the second bird from the right.
Observation details
Dark-mantled gull with partial black hood and black wingtips lacking white windows. Slightly smaller than surrounding Ring-billed Gulls, with which it was sitting quietly on the water. Thicker, more blade-tipped bill than the other dark-headed gulls (Franklin’s, Little, Black-headed) which might also occur here. Getting late in the season for this species to occur upriver here, with most post-breeding dispersers in upper Chesapeake Bay drainage recorded in July through September. Distant digiscope documentation photos. LAGU is second gull from the right.
