immature Laughing Gull
Observation details
Showed up just before I closed out the checklist. One of the two present along the area beaches since at least February. Black bill with a slight droop, partial hood, partial/mottled hood, and broken white eye arcs, grayish sides and belly, black unmarked primaries. Legs looked dark in this morning's overcast sky. Tail showing dark outer and white inner feathers. Unlike the recent Laughing Gull photos from Morro Strand Beach, this bird has white edges on the ends of the tertials and lacks the flight feather wear shown on that bird. (Photos)
