Lesser Black-backed Gull

Lesser Black -backed Gull
Rockledge, Fl

Last weekend, I came across an enormous Great Black-backed Gull. This weekend I came across its lesser counterpart. This Lesser Black-backed Gull is most likely in its 3rd year as it still has some black on its bill. The lesser is a smaller, slimmer gull with a thinner bill and yellow legs. I spotted him visiting my neighbor's piling, which has had a quite a diverse group of guests in the past month.
