Yesterday, I got really lucky to find this rare visitor from Europe at the New Jersey shore. It's a bit larger than Bonaparte's Gulls but both species seem to get along quite well.

They do look different in their non-breeding plumage! Lovely flight shot Axel.

Always special to see and photograph a rare species, especially when the image turns out so well as this one did, Axel !
