Observation details

Continuing bird found by Eunice Schroeder. Sitting on the sand at the mouth the slough. Absolutely stunning bird. A fairly large (cagu sized or perhaps slightly larger) gull with black head, medium gray back, white underparts. White feathers at the base of the bill, pale gray tip to bill, red eye ring. Very distinctive Sabine’s Gull-like flight pattern. Many photos
