One of my birding stops this morning gave nice views of a 1st year Laughing Gull. This gull was not in full breeding plumage yet being a 1st year but still a cool gull to find. This location was at the beach at South Shore Park in Bay View. Laughing Gulls come up as a rare bird for this area, typically see a couple every year here in Southeastern Wisconsin. It was a morning with some sun, light breeze, mild temps. Images were taken on May 24, 2024.
