Leucophaeus atricilla
Adult in non-breeding plumage. I was trying to get pictures of sanderlings, but this gull was not to be denied his chance in the spotlight.
Spotted in the tropical south on the Gulf coast.
The Laughing Gull is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/Regula... http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Laugh...
