Observation details
***Very rare (especially) in Spring. Beautiful adult bird loafing on sandbar at high tide, loosely associating with Laughing Gulls. Small black headed gull most similar to LAGU BUT noticeably smaller than LAGU with considerably broader white eye arcs; smaller bill; broad white tertial crescent; considerable white tips to primaries. In flight underwings appeared clean white with dark coloration restricted to the wing tips. Awesome. Photos:
