Bonaparte's Gull (Chroicocephalus philadelphia)Observer
tianshuoDescription
On Dolphin IX: Unconfirmed. Please enlarge my photo to ID. I think the bill is small enough to be a Bonaparte's gull instead of laughing gull. I am not thinking of black-headed gull because I don't see red bill. Open to any suggestions.
