Description

We were having a little wine on the beach, although it was windy, so we took shelter near a low wall. This Laughing Gull decided to come and visit fairly close by, maybe hoping for a handout, which we didn't have. Laughing Gulls are so beautiful, with their striking black and white appearance!

From Cornell's website: "Swirling over beaches with strident calls and a distinctive, crisp black head, Laughing Gulls provide sights and sounds evocative of summer on the East Coast. You’ll run across this handsome gull in large numbers at beaches, docks, and parking lots, where they wait for handouts or fill the air with their raucous calls. Laughing Gulls are summer visitors to the Northeast and year-round sights on the coasts of the Southeast and the Gulf of Mexico."
