Laughing Gull (Leucophaeus atricilla), Willcox, Cochise County

This Laughing Gull was discovered by Lanie Epstein and Diane Touret on 03 June 2013 and was photographed by Andrew Core on 03 June 2013.

There are fewer than 25 previous records.

This very worn bird could be confused with a Franklin's Gull, but note the long drooping bill and mottled underwings.
