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.

Ooh, nice photos. LBBGs aren't always regular winter visitors this far south on the Gulf as you probably know. . . .
"Chance favors the prepared mind" and you are nothing if not well prepared. I wouldn't call it luck.
