October 19th, 2005. Charlotte Town Beach, Lake Champlain, VT.
Black-tailed Gull Larus crassirostris. Adult winter. ABA Code (4).
Taken using Canon Powershot A-95 through Swarovski telescope.








Black-tailed Gull (second from left) at rest with Ring-billed Gulls.
At this sort of range it recalled a small Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus.





Potentially tricky as a 'fly-past' at distance.




Rather thick white trailing edge to the wings in flight.
