Observation details

Dark gray back. Yellow legs. Similar in size to Herring Gull, slightly smaller. Landed nearby on mudflat and foraged near Herring Gulls and Willet. Funny gait: seemed like legs were further forward and “out in front” of body, compared to Herring Gull. Then it flew to opposite side of water, near several other Herring Gulls on sand bar. Not present when we departed.
