Observation details
See photos. Smaller than Laughing Gulls with which it associated, smaller bill, thick eye arcs. Apparently still growing in outer primaries (see photo). First noted in flock around puddle on east side of parking lot (field 2) at 4:46 pm by Tom Burke. The Gull then flew out over the sand ridge to the ocean at about 5:10 pm as noted with Shai Mitra. Subsequent efforts to relocate the bird were not successful.
