Small gull; thin orange bill with black tip; orange legs. Black spot on cheek. Black terminal band on tail. Rump white. The mantle was mostly gray with some darker feathering. I was very lucky with this bird. The bird was actually at the first place I looked. The bird was feeding in the marina next to the South Beach (Valvtect) marine fuel dock. Then perched on a pole, bathed, then preened and rested on the breakwater on the bay side. Observed bird for approximately 37 minutes. Photos to be uploaded.
