Laughing Gull --- at the 'Forks of the Delaware' in Easton, Northampton County; March 13, 2005. Photo by Dave DeReamus.
This photo shows the dusky head, the white arcs around the eye, and the dark bill, legs, and wingtips. This immature bird was spotted by Mike Schall on the pretty early date of March 12th. This coastal gull is a fairly rare find for most areas of Pennsylvania. Most are found during or after storms with easterly winds.
