Leucophaeus Atricilla
29.2409, -90.6517
Field Notes
Description:
This bird can be spotted year-round in the Gulf of Mexico, where this picture was taken. This flock was feeding off of shrimp and various other small organisms that were being stirred up by the boat we were travelling in.
Habitat:
The laughing gull can be found on the East Coast of the U.S. and on the coast of South America during the winter but can be found year-round in the Gulf of Mexico.
Notes:
The laughing gull received its name because of its call which sounds like a high pitched laugh.
