Lesser Black-backed Gull, adult winter

Here's another of the same bird.

Here's a 3rd winter Lesser Black-backed Gull. Note the black on bill tip.

Eating a crab.

First winter Lesser Black-backed Gull

and in flight. Note the broad tail band and contrasting whitish rump.

Just saw 4 Lesser Black-backed Gulls on Sanibel Island, FL beach. This is an unusual gull to see here where mainly there are Laughing Gulls, Ring-billed Gulls and some Herring Gulls. We were lucky.
