Observation details
Very rare in winter. With a gull flock on the southwestern corner of the open water patch. First seen hunkered down on the edge of the flock, before it got up and preened. 1st winter, with brownish coloration. At first, I wondered if this was a Laughing Gull (which has a similar likelihood) but the strong eye-arcs, clean and distinct hood, white neck and underparts, and clean underwings all point to Franklin's over LAGU.
