Notes & Observations
5/21/22 – I love the Laughing Gull. My husband and I frequently go down to Corpus Christi, TX to walk along the beach. The hilarious calls of the Laughing Gulls can be heard from every direction. The ones in the touristy area we frequent seem to be surveying for food scraps. Their heads are black during breeding season and white in the off season.
